This isn't something which a company can meaningfully guarantee to consumers. Even if it's technically possible for users to install their own software on a device - for that matter, even if the company goes out of their way to support it by releasing documentation and source code - there simply isn't interest from developers to build and maintain custom software for those devices. And the same goes for devices which depend on online services - those services cost money to run, and the number of users capable and willing to run their own is miniscule.
