I hope the ability to install whatever OS on your phone that you want will become mandated and the default for all cell phones.
Even if this was allowed. Surely most apps wont run anymore in the name of security
Not really, most OS for phones are android based anyway. Having the choice of an ungoogled android is always a plus, much like many people just want an ungoogled chrome
This is unenforceable really. Android is a monolithic OS, it's very architecture would have to be reengineered, and then phone manufacturers would have to design their system drivers to be independent and distributable.
Windows is modular, this comes from the standard BIOS that came out of the bios wars in the 80's. Having a standard hardware interface enables this.
Phones don't have this.
No it's not, just mandate unlocked or user-unlockable bootloaders, the open source Android dev community will do the rest. There would be degoogled custom ROMs and full linux (eg Ubuntu touch, postmarketOS, etc.) ports for every reasonably popular device within months.
