Better option: after the vendor stops support it, they should release the keys to unlock the bootloader.
Specification and source code for drivers would be even better, but harder to get.
- Tepix 5y agoI don't see why this is a better option: If a vendor supplies bad security updates after six years, I can demand proper updates or perhaps my money back in return for my insecure device. If the software is open source i may not receive any updates regardless.

I use a cellphone from 2012 whose manufacturer abandonned a few years after release. This year alone I got 2 updates for it because I'm running the e.foundation /e/ OS. This wouldn't be possible had AOSP not being open source or its bootloader was locked.
