That’s sad to hear. I fear that less people will use custom roms and therefore overall development will suffer. But maybe some people will opt for fairphone instead of google, which at least makes it a tiny bit better imo…
I doubt that, to be honest. People will look for any excuse to avoid spending more on the basis of ethics. The usual one with Fairphone is “well they removed the headphone jack so therefore the entire operation is clearly an advanced greenwashing scheme”.
Not to mention the very legitimate excuse that Fairphone is still yet to support many countries outside of Europe. It is too big a risk for many when every generation to date has experienced isolated technical issues that require direct support from Fairphone to resolve.
