Like Fairphone.nl, Shift.eco, Murena.com...?

They're being sold and enough people are buying them to keep these companies alive. Fairphone said they're not delivering to USA because they don't have the manpower, not because there's no demand. Every release again you see people asking in the comments when/if it'll finally be available to them

That's not to say it's a big market where you get big economy of scale benefits. The devices are expensive but they're yours (and some of them try to do ethical resource mining and/or pay fair wages as well). Some of these will also have Googled variants available, but it's a choice

They don't have the manpower to drop off some USA-bound boxes at the same shipping carrier they use for their EU deliveries? I highly doubt that. They likely don't want to bother with FCC approval, opposition from Google about selling de-Googled Android or produce separate SKUs for US-specific 5G frequencies.

They likely don't want to bother...

or they don't have the manpower to take care of...
