The thing is, this whole debate is happening above the baseband. Linux phones (Librem 5, PinePhone) tried to solve this and went nowhere, you can open-source everything above the modem, but the GSM/LTE protocol stack is still a proprietary blob with DMA access to your main memory.

Qualcomm/MediaTek own that layer and it's not changing anytime soon.

Currently sitting in an open office floor plan surrounded by 4 other developers less than 3 feet away speaking in Hindi. I don't speak Hindi. There are constraints to this open door distraction.
