    That’s one aspect, but many phones are also just straight-up not jail-breakeable. It’s an unfortunate reality of the phone manufacturing world that they put up as many barriers as possible to try and prevent you from having free range with your phone.

        The average user doesn’t give a fuck about security. They use whatever manufacturers put in front of them because the alternatives are not known or reasonably available to them.

        True, but if you had the ability to flash your OS, there’d also be the potential of using a third paty repair shop to get it flashed with a new OS. That would be about the same experience as getting a new phone, but cheaper.
