People don't buy Xiaomi because of their fancy tech, they buy it because it's cheap. Tech YouTuber telling people they steal that tech to make it cheap won't make people stop buying their cheap phones.

You can ask your government to take action for this IP violation by taxing those brands more, or banning them until they stop violating licenses. I'm sure they'll start caring more after that.

Actually, if you look at the custom ROM community, only my device had more than 50K official downloads from just the ArrowOS ROM 's website, and this device is actually more popular on the unofficial side so there's at least x3 more people on lineage and others ROMs - that's not a small amount of people (using arrowos as an example because they have telemetry)

So, me and many others are very angry about this and this is our first and last time getting a Xiaomi device

i.e. only the telegram update channels have 25k-65k subscribers per a single xiaomi device, let alone the whole XDA community
