Do you guys ever get it?! There is no fully open source OS.
No embedded modern SOC has every driver fully open.

Modem firmware is closed and will send stuff to asholes like Trump or Putin or other dictators depending on what country you are in.
I kinda agree with you; modern FW is bad which definitely means we need some old-fashioned FW.

The best thing that will hopefully be available one day is Neo900 where you can isolate the baseband from the OS completely.
Other way to achieve this is to have for example a notebook format device which has 3G/LTE on a separate USB dongle.
