Iโ€™m thinking of getting an HMD Skyline instead of this? Any reason not to? Pros and cons?

Pro: Fairphone try to support their phones for as long as possible, 8-10 years for the FP5

Con: their customer support is desperate for improvement

Pro: FP offer spare parts for a long time, and there's a active gray market of people trading parts around

Con: I'm no expert on cybersecurity, but the founder and head dev or GrapheneOS talked about how FP are apparently doing a poor job with their security patches. I invite anyone to ELI5 this and do a better job than me explaining it.
