> I wish we lived in a world where everyone spent a few dozen to a few hundred hours learning hard stuff to thereby make their lives permanently easier, but we don't. Most would rather spend a few hours doing relatively monotonous stuff over and over than actually learn something new. I get this, but I'm not sure that using a phone that exposes a full Linux system is the answer here. In fact I think for many people one could make the opposite argument – spend a few hours learning how to use an iPhone and never have to worry about many classes of problems. Yes, many people use iPhones because they don't have the ability to make an informed decision, but many people also have all the skills to make that decision and still choose them. It's all trade-offs, and for some, walled gardens and EULAs are not a problem, and having a camera and (closed source) software that allows better photos of their kids is far more important.
