That's perhaps because typical consumers don't build their own operating systems?

Right. Phones won’t be built open for consumers because they aren’t built by consumers. They’re built by corporations for consumers.

The software may be built by consumers for consumers, e.g., AOSP distros. But, the hardware and mobile infrastructure, probably not.
