This is a list of phone manufacturers that lock their bootloaders to prevent people from installing custom operating systems (LineageOS etc) to remove bloatware and spyware/tracking.

How indestructuble do they compare to a classic Nokia, or a GameBoy?
Now that’s interesting to know. I like 90’s-level-of-indestructibility devices.
, and they’re stuck on Android 11
From a technological perspective, wouldn’t that be a win? Each Android version since then is worse (not to mention the changes to the Store). I wonder if, considering these are devices indestructible enough to last, potentially beyond industries, are they equipped with the provisions to upgrade or change the OS out-of-band. Imagine one of those thingies running LineageOS.
