Warranties are practically useless, or I should say I find better value buying a 2 year old phone for a fraction of new. I can own three or four Pixel 5/6 for the cost of a new Pixel.
I prefer having a spare around. One dies, just swap Sim and move on.
Custom roms are significantly easier today, and you can buy phones with them pre-installed, e.g. Graphene, /e/, and Lineage. I'd look at those 3, noting that /e/ also provides some google-like convenience.
I don't have bad experience with fairphone's warranty. The part where I agree with you is that warranties don't make sense for smartphones that are still functional. They become such an important part of our lived that parting with it for repaird is difficult.
100%. I've only had one problem with my Pixel phones. A pixel 5A, out of five total pixels I've owned. And that phone I got repaired at a local repair shop for $30....
