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.

I bought a fairphone and have been running lineageOS on it.
I think it’s just that we don’t have roms tell our phones are eol?
