One problem is that it's difficult to reuse these still very capable devices. Sure there's postmarketos and others, but they only support few devices, and it requires a huge amount of work to add new ones. Perhaps manufacturers should be forced to release at least the kernel and essential drivers source for obsolete devices, which would reduce the effort required to make them useful for other things. And some other issues, like allowing them to still boot with no battery, broken screen, stuck buttons, etc.
