I like the ties to the hacker ideology, or rather the practical results that follow. In this case it's mostly the fact that the hardware is relatively easily accessible, with instructions how to disassemble and modify it. It's likely I will never even use this feature, but I like having the possibility of attempting to fix something when it breaks.

Another consequence of the hacky approach is that there are lots of community-made resources on what can be done on the phone, both in the hardware as well as in the software realm. It's even moderately likely that I will do something software'y, but again I mostly like the possibility. I think the world would be better if all devices focused on these things.

Unrelated – I have never before seen the phrase "plump for", so you taught it to me. Recently that has been really rare, so thanks!
