If your criteria of "not locked down" is being able to run a full-ass IDE on your phone, then maybe.
But if using a Web-IDE via a browser[0] is enough for you, we're already there. You do need to adjust how you work, and that's a huge sticking point for some people.

- LinuxBender 2y agoExactly this. I want an x86_64 phone with a completely open motherboard and modem that permits any version of Linux. The modem must be accessed by a kernel module that is reviewed and approved by Linus without triggering a harsh email. No telemetry, back doors, lawful intercept, talking to the cloud without my explicit request to do so. SELinux policies and a policy generator and sandbox that profiles applications on the fly and gives me exactly what the app is asking to do in detail, not what the developer says it does or needs. If the app changes behavior, the profile generator and sandbox alert me to the change and will not permit the change until I review and approve it.
