As much as it sounds fun, I very much doubt that industry will adapt it. Look at Android which is open-sourcish, updated frequently and the whole os should be easy to transfer between devices. In reality no one wants to allow people to do that. Older devices are not updated and crappy additional software is installed just for this reason - to make sure people have to buy complete new phone often and to make sure it's the right one.
I don't think it's the right approach to shout into the void instead of, let's say, build a startup and go on kickstarter.

As with most consumer products, especially electronic devices, there's quite a lot Planned Obsolescence in mobile phones.
