This ain't anything new. They have been doing this for decades and will still do it forever. Just move on with it, since it like trying to figure out something which has no meaning at all.
Just know for sure that every company has systems designed by some developer based on a whimsical mindset of someone at the very top. So, I can care less for these stupid companies and their useless management.

Someone else pointed me to it when I was speaking about Phosh. But yeah, I am trying to find people who maybe have old phones lying around in working condition and maybe get them to convert those to Linux/Phosh/pmOS
