@nolan they're so hard for a couple of reasons:
1. every hardware platform is different, and undocumented, and locked, and out of date in one year, which means that most of the (small) effort dedicated to open phone OSes ends up going into hardware work, not design and foundations and UX
2. because it's so hard, the community are self-selected for "I want open even if it's crap UX", which means their desires are "let me change the wifi stack", not "make this nice for people who aren't hackers"
