Majority of popular android devices have Free Software OS alternative and if you know how to do micro soldering and chip reflowing then you can force linux on an Apple device, but that won't help your control and privacy.

And on Android phones you might still rely on the manufacturer to be able to replace the OS without reflowing as the manufacturer has to allow you to change the OS and if you do the reflow it's likely that the bootloader won't let you boot it.
