OK mom, I know we’re on the phone a thousand miles away, but really, all you have to do is “flash a rom” - It’s easy.
Good luck with that. Not everyone is tech-savy. I’d imagine 98% of the folks owning smart phones could not do what you describe themselves.

And of the remaining 2% who know how to do it in theory, most WON'T do it, because even though they know how, they don't feel like risking a brick. It takes a certain amount of high motivation to do it. I know, because I'm generally one, though there are some things I won't take chances with.
The actual percentage of highly-motivated tech-savvy users who screw around with their phone's flash-ROM programming is minuscule. Might be tens of thousands of users, which sounds like a lot until you remember that there are a thousand times that many users who consider their phone a black box device and don't screw around with it.
Mom doesn’t give a hoot about ‘fragmentation’, so she wouldn’t need to.
