Android phones and tablets are generally a lot more open than their counterparts running operating systems such as iOS, Tizen, or Windows 10 Mobile. If you don't like the firmware the device manufacturer has installed on your Android device, you are free to replace it with your own custom firmware. CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, and the Pure Nexus Project are examples of custom firmware that enjoy a lot of popularity among Android users.

Custom firmware is also the only way you can install newer versions of Android on devices that are no longer supported by their manufacturers. Unless you own a device that belongs to the Nexus or Android One series, I'm sure you knew that already.
