It was only £15 though, all apps I installed on it beyond the default ones are through f-droid.

That's fair, but to me, the cost of a new device isn't how much I pay for it - it's the time I invest in using it and maintaining it, as well as how much I rely on it. The biggest reason that I think open hardware and software is important is not just the cost, but the reliability - the fact that it will still be working tomorrow. That is worth a lot more than money to me!
