I mean... I can solve this with three easy requirements.
No bootloader locking beyond EOL.
Required writing and release of tech documentation/source code at EOL.
No part serialization or cryptographic shenanigans without also supporting user based reset.
Until you solve those facets preventing handset board reuse, in the bin it's gonna go. Which is a pity, because with the right docs, and a bit of elbow grease, a pile of phone boards with generic linux kernels integrated into a network information system would be a perfect recipe for a beautiful and power sippy Beowulf cluster.
And before the "but you just made theft a problem" crowd stirs up, deal with it. World's never been a safe place. Risk cannot be destroyed, just converted from form to form. I'll take less severe distributed smaller individual than a honking, centralized, far reaching risk anyday. You can at least actively do something about the smaller ones. The big ones are pretty much giaranteed to never be remediated.
