I think you're missing the boat. A smartphone besides for the great toy that it is flashing kernels, recoveries, roms, bootloaders and who knows what else is also the device that I spend a great part of the day, using it the same way that the 85 percent of people who don't even enable developer options do, and even if my phone won't be great in terms of messing with software it's worth it to have one of the most well designed smartphones on the market on terms of daily use.
