android/apple prices are subsidized by selling your information
so how much is your privacy worth to you?
I just got a new android phone. i get a giggle play service error everytime I make a phone call.
WHAT THE FUCK DOES GIGGLE NEED TO KNOW WHEN I MAKE A PHONE CALL!?
fuck that
LIbrem 5 could have the specs of an iPhone 1 and it's still worth $600 to me.

Do they have to build a phone from the ground up to put a different operating system on it?
It's not just the OS.
Librem did need to build this system from the ground up to make sure there wasn't any spy shit built into it.
Even installing a different OS on a prebuilt phone it can still be tracking you.
Librem put physical switches on the phone to make sure when you shut the GPS and antenna off it's actually off.
Batteries are hardwired into phones now so they can never be fully shut off. They are always tracking you .
