Couldn't you make the same argument about email? It's an open protocol but anyone can block you. Even though that's the case, I think email is much more open than WhatsApp or Signal, and a big part of that is the fact that it

Yeah I like the idea of if it’s no longer receiving firmware updates but I suspect the tech companies would get around that by releasing symbolic updates that just bump the version number. I would prefer something like after 5 years they ha
