"Maybe people from the west it's easy they choose both for 20 dollars, but in Africa or Asia 20 dollars is a month salary so they will choose a crappy slow internet with non-free software everyware because they dont have the money and the knowledge."

I wouldn't say that is a smart move. They are trading their nation's economic freedom for a slightly cheaper hardware which will benefit themselves only. You know why $35 chips like Raspberry Pi aren't succesful? Because they do not run proprietary software. Same thing for other mobile hardware. Unfortunately very few people can envision their actions' consequences in long term future.
