Baking the base models on to ROM makes a lot of economic sense.
Less so for consumers though, because it'd mean the phone is out of date in 3 months when a better model comes along.

It's a perfect reason to get consumers to buy a new phone every year again! They got bored of the camera.
This stopped working some years ago.
Now you sell the same phone with higher price tag.
I don’t think average user _needs_ to solve frontier challenges. ”Call to Jane”, ”turn on the lights” and ”what’s the weather this afternoon” is more like it I would guess.
Ofc if the model has some critical bugs that’s another matter.
Your examples worked on phones for over a decade.
Maybe baking in a model that is "certified" to have some unconditioned truths + rest is pulled from external models/store could make sense. But AFAIK that doesn't exist and I'm not sure it can possibly be made. Perhaps society as a whole at least can work on an open corpus of training data, but I'm not holding my breath on this.
And the customers can wait for the new phone released next year. These are edge models - the average customer doesn’t need the latest frontier model. Just needs to be good enough for the features you promised.
That's a software engineering problem. They just need to figure out how to fine-tune for alignment and tool usage.
That's the only thing the normie consumer cares for really.
