I hope this can be eventually reverse-engineered. Pinephone's modem has some progress.
My daily driver, Librem 5, is as close to such device as possible. It runs an FSF-endorsed OS and has hardware kill switches for wireless and mic/camera. Can't recommend it enough.
I've seriously considered the Librem. At the moment I have an ulefone armor with a really big battery and a very big bright LED flashlight for being in the wilderness though carrying a phone in the hills is not very practical. It's rugged but runs a carrier maintained version of Android. To have physical switches for wireless, mic and camera would be great. I am curious if you have run into any issues with RCS using a different OS and also curious if the Librem line will ever have a very rugged phone for extreme weather and with a really big battery for weirdo's like me.
I'm glad I now have a personal HN hater coming to every comment of mine with a snark or (far-fetched) dismissal. Makes me feel important (not really, just funny).
When you put in the effort to make a substantive comment, and forego the empty one-liners teaching us nothing, nobody is happier than I am to not respond.
