With Apple you don't get freedom. So what does Apple give you that is so much better than freedom?

Seriously, ask yourself why you stick with iPhone instead of GrapheneOS or Calyx. Everyone here can name a few serious reasons not to use iPhones. What are its advantages that you love so much? Are you sure a Graphene or Calyx phone don't share those advantages?

Always be willing to reevaluate your decisions. The correct decision last year may no longer be the correct decision today.

I know your question is mostly rhetorical but the short answer is inertia.

When my iPhone dies I will switch over to pixel with graphene but that money has a lot of other uses in this moment (like buying Bitcoin or saving up for a family road trip).

If someone continues to support apple by buying their shit after showing their true colors then yes I agree.

Also a lot of us are not as tech literate as others on here, so I will probably opt for an Above phone that is ready to go and has support (but costs more as a result)

Would you say more about ready to go options? Graphene?

I heard about this the other day. Can get a phone sent from Calyx with everything pre-loaded:

Personally, I picked up a used phone from someone I knew and flashed #GrapheneOS myself. Incredibly simple if you want to go the route of trusting Graphene’s site with the install.

Flashing it yourselfx as you did, really is quite simple. I actually direct new users to that route instead of buying a preflashed phone. Preflashed phones cost a fortune and aren't necessary for 99% of people

Which is one of the things that stood out to me regarding the Calyx Institute phones. Seemed a lot more reasonably priced than I was expecting.

Seems like a good option for my grandmother who hopped of the tech train with her vhs.

That's a fair reason. These things aren't cheap. But I still hope your phone dies immediately after reading this note 🤣
