I thought the whole point was to have an open-source, hackable device from top to bottom.

It's a red flag when you have multiple areas you're trying to differentiate in with one product. Sometimes you can hit two birds with one elegant stone. Sometimes the two goals are so inextricable that you have no other choice. Most of the time, it's just a bad idea.



Yes, that too. I just don't consider Android hackable enough for me. Too constrained by design choices of others.

And there are plenty of unlocked Android devices out there that users can modify already.
