The customization and software options I am currently using, I have been able to make 90% of it work with a rooted phone and a combination of many open source tools and more.

When I was using Windows I was able to get it to work 90% the way I wanted it to with a combination of open source tools, and help online disabling the bullshit. The point is I shouldn't have to put that much effort fighting my OS to get it working the way I want it to.

With a Samsung phone maybe I can avoid their bullshit by rooting the phone and finding open source software, but I'd rather just go with a different company and not have the hassle.

stop dooming lmaooo.

"This company has shit business practices, you should use someone else" is not 'dooming'.

People use devices that fit their needs.

Yes, and I'm pointing out why Samsung might not fit their needs in case they are unaware.
