It's not bad, it's just that it's an Android phone like any other. It doesn't claim to be more "private". It would be approximately the same amount of work to degoogle as any other Android phone.
Probably easier if they dont actively try to prevent you from unlocking & rooting
Though that does not equal to interest by the devs who create ROMs and other such content.
Maybe less of a concern since Treble but a concern nonetheless.
Fairphone always had a lot of interest from the open source community, I don't see why that would change...
