Too bad most of tools targeting mobile phones come only as shady, Windows-only, closed-source, DRM-laden (requires unnecessarily expensive adapter) solutions.

Too bad most of tools targeting mobile phones come only as shady, Windows-only, closed-source, DRM-laden (requires unnecessarily expensive adapter) solutions. That's capitalism for you - every vendor wants their piece of the cake by keeping their reverse-engineering efforts secret. Nothing else is preventing an open-source and open-hardware ecosystem from thriving by reusing existing tools (eg. OpenOCD and any FT2232-based adapter clone).
