Nah, I see the point, but I think it's no better than when OEMs install apps and block you from uninstalling them.
Then it is not for you..
By that logic, it's not for anyone who cares about ownership because if you own a device, you should be allowed to do whatever the flip you want with it.
You're describing Callback's features as if they're bugs.
This is a digital minimalist Linux phone by design that respects user privacy.
No browser. No social feeds. Curated apps. APK sideloading support. That's the point.
WhatsApp can be removed in a couple of clicks. The browser is intentionally blocked. Social feeds and email are intentionally blocked. The device is intentionally designed to reduce distraction and screen addiction.
If your goal is a $30 flip phone, buy a $30 flip phone.
If your goal is a privacy-focused Linux device that helps you step away from infinite scroll, doomscrolling, and algorithmic feeds, while supporting Commodore's community-supported licensing model and carrying forward the Commodore legacy, that's what Callback is.
You're criticizing it for being exactly what it was designed to be.
