You would be forced to use the default keyboard app that comes with most phones if they are either just purchased or factory-resetted. π€π€―π€
Your keyboard "autocorrect" changing something in the Android OS itself which makes you unable to uninstall that keyboard might make you think it is better for the phone to be bricked. π€―ππ

Nooooo! That would be an excruciating experience! I cannot!
Haha...well, since unprivileged don't have root access, they can't make modifications to the system partition. πππβ¨π€

You still have the choice to use a mobile device with custom Android OS that already comes with your preferred FOSS keyboard. π€π§ββοΈπ€
Your keyboard "autocorrect" might "correct" its way into having root access on your phone, using you as the (unaware) agent. π€π€―π€―π€£π

Well, I'd have to find one that is compatible with my mobile network, that I can afford, and that meets my requirements for phone specs. If I could get this same phone, but with an unlocked bootloader, then I'd install my own custom ROMs.
If it could do that, it would be amazing, since as I mentioned above, the bootloader is locked, so root access cannot be gained, very unfortunately. π π π β¨ π€

Do you mean that the mobile network you use restricts you on your choice of (smart)phone? π€π€―
A locked bootloader may be good for security, though that means you would be dependent on the security the OS provides you with. π€―π

Somewhat, yes. There are two main types of phone networks, CDMA and GSM, so the phone that is chosen needs to be compatible with the mobile network to which it's being connected.
Yeah, I despise locked bootloaders, because it takes control of my own phone out of my hands. My next phone will have an unlocked bootloader, as I'm taking back my right to manage my own device. πππβ¨π€

The mobile network is !INDEED also a limitation to consider by people who often travel internationally. π€π€―π
!HOPE that you get your next phone with an unlocked bootloader soon(er)! π€π

Yes, that's true, very much so.
That's definitely my intention. I won't get it from the carrier this time, but rather online. πππβ¨π€
