linux phones theoretically exist. There’s pinephone, but the casual research I did couldn’t tell me if they were still in business or not.
This is a case of technology following politics. I wish for a viable third party and they don’t meaningfully exist.

And in the USA our options are limited when it comes to a modern, decent smartphone with an unlocked bootloader. The relevant consumer protection laws the rest of the world has don’t exist here because our politicians are bought and paid for by the telecoms.
