If you can't get the phone from a local distributor/e-shop/carrier, then why bother?
That's a normal people's perspective.
OP seems to be talking about high level institutions collaborating with the opensource community to make linux phones a reality. Those aren't "normal people" but politicians and their ilk. They should be thinking different than the average consoomer i.e not "oh it's shiny and popular, fuck the price".
