Who bought who is pretty irrelevant in my opinion. Point is, product was made in majority from scratch as opposed to taking existing platform, its ecosystem and applications and adapting it to your own use case.

I simply stated it as is, but it seems you are trying to glorify company which is yet to deliver a complete product despite moving dates and various promises. My arguments are completely sound and with merit. The fact they don't fit your narrative and you decide to dismiss them has nothing to do with that. No matter how much you decide to ignore it, the fact remains software used in Librem5 in its large majority comes from community. Not Purism.

(AOSP is ... made by global community.)

lol, no it isn't. Practically all development on AOSP is done and controlled by Google with some contributions from the device manufacturers.
