if we look where big tech companies make money, like amazon, google, meta and apple. google and meta sell ads. apple sells overhyped products. amazon try to monopolize markets and products. all of them have interest getting power to make more money, way to get power is locking users their systems or monopolizing services and products. if we follow money trails we start see bigger picture.
certain companies definitely have interest to kill competition. but i don't think big tech is after pinephone or its software. it is too small at the moment. some methods would be even illegal. reality is that pinephone community is rather small and relies on donations.
how this surveillance agencies fit to this formula is weird. i just point out that world has surveillance agencies outside of anglo-world as well, many cases could be worse ones. surveillance agencies usually are not motivated by money, they may not like unhackable devices though.
some things mentioning here. apple created so called M1 chip, i think real reason is software control. apple can control everything in macs and idevices. google has fuchsia project, which is closed enough for locking users into something.
generally speaking i think it is small pine community with donations why pinephone is still beta product mess more or less.
