> I find a lack of firmware updates to be possibly more of a concern
Why are you suggesting that one can't change the firmware? In your link, Purism CSO explicitly said you would be able to do it:
> I would expect that we would document the process in our Librem 5 developer docs at some point, when it’s relevant (such as when there’s an update to apply).
The CSO explicitly said they "expect" you can, and "at some point" it will be documented.
They have yet to explicitly state in any way that they will ensure firmware receives security updates.
There has been documentation for how to update the proprietary firmware for the RS9116 modem on the Librem 5 since early 2019: https://developer.puri.sm/Librem5/Development_Environment/Bo...
This is true, but it doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
