Because there are some other manufacturers, e.g. Samsung, which don't manufacture in China (for the most part), and IMO the problem of centralizing the world's supply chain in China is more important than what Fairphone is trying to do.
I don't understand how manufacturing in Korea is better than China. Hell, I'd call that pretty centralized still because it still relies on the same logistical problems.
