Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

What components are you talking about? Can you provide some sort of source or reference or something? Are you maybe talking about the data modem?

Yes a lot of parts. The Kernel is made for that specific SOC and may not get updated.

Then you have various parts like the modem are made by Samsung, Broadcomm etc. and need their firmware updates.
