Some of us care. Those who care currently have Nokia N9s, which is the most open phone (straight out of the box) on the market. It's a real Linux (not Android), with apps written in C++. If you switch on development mode (it's an option in the settings) you can even get a terminal window, or SSH in, and become root (no hacks required). The only drawbacks are that development of the ecosystem is somewhat terminal given that the vendor has moved it to maintenance mode in favour of an OS from the Western United States, and that it has Aegis FS, so root cannot necessarily access all files. It's also pretty, which is one of the reasons my daughter got one.
