One of the interesting aspects of the Librem 5 is putting the cellular component on USB rather than something like PCI, substantially limiting the baseband's reach. Part of why the Librem 5 is such a big heavy and chunky device is it's assembled more like an OG ThinkPad with discrete peripherals, in smartphone form. Most (all?) modern smartphones comingle the baseband and application processors to the extent that the baseband has direct access to the application processor's memory. You can logically envision your smartphone's GUI/application environment as the baseband's guest. You are not in charge, despite owning the device.
