    PinePhone is $200. But the manufacturer offloaded all development onto the community.

    Librem actually pays some developers, but their phones are $700+. And you will find many complaints about refunds.

    Cheap prices are possible by economies of scale by manufacturers, but same manufacturers guard their proprietary hardware.

    Also, how “pleb” are we talking about? Many people DGAF and just want their calls/text/apps to work.
