That's one way to lower price, but in an industry of razor sharp hardware returns if you really want to make something cheap you do it by getting money from services and if those "services" include interest based advertising then it's even better. Just look at why all modern TVs are "smart TVs" and default (often hard to disable) "call home" tracking features.
Seems like an illusion of choice if you're guaranteed a working phone only if you buy the latest $1000 Samsung flagship.
