You’re not wrong that the project has had issues and unforced errors. I’ve felt similar disappointment at the slow progress, misleading statements, and product limitations.
But they’re one of precious few companies with a fighting chance of bringing open software to mobile. For that reason alone, they’re still on the side of the angels in my opinion.
So root for the Pinephone and PostmarketOS, and continue to hold Purism accountable. But if Purism and the Librem have an outside shot at positively contributing to the mobile landscape if given the chance, then entirely-valid criticisms of the company and product should be tempered with that chance in mind.
