Press X to doubt. Theoretically a free market would/should solve this. That's been the dream of Free Software and hardware. Today you can run GNU/Linux on a PinePhone, or GrapheneOS or similar de-Googled Androids on a Pixel.

- worewood 3y agoIn his mind a free market enables customers to boycott phones with such shenanigans. Problem is, this assumes all people are properly educated, aware and motivated which is never the case. The market can never be 100% free.
- Skunkleton 3y agoI truly free market ends in monopoly and total loss of choice. Current regulations seem to end with duopoly which is not much better.
- cortesoft 3y agoIn a free market, people choosing not to buy Samsung phones would prevent them from doing this.
- sp332 3y agoBut they pulled this after the phones were bought.
- dist-epoch 3y agoThis is called reputation. People will stop buying from you.
