now only few do
That’s the one you buy then if that’s what matters to you.
To be clear I’m not saying it’s “easy” or that the situation is “good”, only that there are choices and if we as consumers can support them, and as voted can support politicians that do make legislation to protect them (or at least not make others mandatory) then we are still going in the right direction, even if most people don’t care.

That’s the false premise…if we just buy the one which isn’t enshittified to hell, there’s less and less options for “enthusiasts” and secondly, most users are fucked, because they just need something that works. The only way to prevent keep the devices open is via regulatory oversight, forcing politicians to see the relevance of open platform / devices and create rules accordingly. And even that is a massive uphill battle…
