The proprietary/unique hardware on phones and printers is also mirrored, from what I understand, in the computers inside of cars. I don't think there's much of ANY kind of way to "jailbreak" a car (or a tractor). Is there anywhere to crowdfund that sort of thing?

What makes it so there are only a handful of phone models that can run degoogled systems? Why doesn't it work like on the PC, where you can just put any Linux distro on any machine?
