I don't believe that's true.

As an example, I hate every option available for phones right now but I can't just not have a phone. I have no real choice.

Whichever decision I make will send the wrong signal to "the market" and won't influence it to improve.



You can buy second-hand phone to avoid giving more profit to the producer.


Except older phones will be EOL much sooner and will stop getting updates.

Thanks 'free market'.


Use LineageOS - and indeed, thank the free market.


Lineage doesn't guarantee security updates for your device, even if there are official builds.

Not to mention lineage means no verified boot
