I can see why you are being downvoted, but to be honest I kind of share your frustration. It seems like the same community that regularly complains about the prevailing phone ecosystem will also dismiss any attempt to improve it if it isn't perfect or doesn't have all of their personal favourite features (and at a low price, too). Like how the Fairphone is apparently literally unusable because it doesn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
You see it with a lot of user-facing FOSS as well, like Thunderbird. The recent post about its latest update was full of people shitting on it over, in many cases, fairly trivial details.
Creating stuff that is usable, sustainable, ethical and affordable is very difficult and involves making hard compromises. It's always good to see people trying to do it and depressing when all they get is hate.

The real solution is GNU/Linux phones relying on FLOSS drivers, which will receive lifetime updates.
