I've had a dozen $35 phones. I've rooted every one of them and installed my own choice of software. Some of them still work. They are HTC, Samsung, and Kyocera. None of the ones I have are eligible yet for non-Android operating systems. Believe me, I've checked.
The first phone I didn't root is the only one I've ever spent $300 on. I can't for the life of me imagine why you think I feel entitled. Honestly, (and not trying to insult) demanding that Pine64 keep prices down, and trying to prevent resellers, is the very definition of entitlement to me. I can't afford a PinePhone at any price point (thanks covid dampanic) and don't expect anyone to give me one. Would I like to have one? Sure, as a toy. In fact, I have very precise intentions to use one as an electronic product I've always wanted, which is not actually a phone. But by the time I can afford one they'll probably be discontinued. I'm okay with that. Really.
