Every smartphone I've had before this free Oneplus Nord N30 was rooted and then and had a custom android installed, many of the root processes relied on doing exploits all the way back to my CyanogenMod days.

security groups at big orgs can swing that kind of price but most of us won't and that customer base won't be enough to sustain the labs, all that's ever going to be left is niche uses of open weight models IF anyone can afford to continue to train them so they don't become immediately out of date
we'll see
