There's also the option of doing better things with your life and not worrying about what software your phone runs, in reality your life has to be really fucking boring for it to make any difference whatsoever.
A few years ago there was an advertising campaign run by Australia's massively dominant telco, Telstra. It went along the lines of a new business struggling to get their various comms setup via a number of smaller players, different ones per communications medium: Internet, landline, mobile. This faded to the advertising tagline of "Let's just get Telstra to do it": one-stop-shop for all your comms needs.
Having been responsible for WAN connectivity for a company with branches spread around Australia, I'm aware that the attitude of (added the first two words and comma for appropriate dramatic effect) "Fuck it, Let's just get Telstra to do it" will end up adding a good 30-40% of costs over and above alternate providers.
Moral of the story: The cost is worth it to some people, probably a majority of people because they just don't want to think about it, don't want to go to the extra effort, and probably won't realise the cost difference.
I'm not one of those people. I feel as if I'm quite "aware" of the nature of the world, and I react as per how I feel is appropriate. If that's "really fucking boring" to some internet rando, then, well, maybe I'd better re-think my entire life! Maybe I'll get Telstra to do it...
