What you’re clearing missing is that they are not selling you software.
They are selling you open, unlocked hardware to run software on, with no promises/liabilities about the software. Just like Intel, AMD, ARM, MSI, Asus, Kingston and a lot of other hardware suppliers. They even explicitly state this when you buy the phone.
They are explicitly not selling you a combined hardware/software package like Apple does with the iPhone or OEMs are doing with Android.
How can you then complain about this later?
Edit: You might even say that this combined HW/SW appliance-model applied by the rest of the smartphone market is the exact thing they are fighting against.
They are selling HW as HW, leaving users free to run the software they prefer.
