You remember it. I was the one that created it. They named it project ara ( after the daughter of the guy who stole my idea and told it to his google friends). I laid the whole idea out one night, drew it up, figured out the major architectural points and realized how awesome it was. They flubbed it a bit, had issues and killed it. I never found out why, never talked to that guy again.
Yes, if the design had open specs, it would become the dominant hardware architecture and likely adopted by the world. You could also have done things very specialized for different people, whatever you needed you could get more of. Triple memory, dual specialized cameras, bare bones but triple battery…. Options were endless.

Because there would be so many who could mod parts. They would have no control. All you described are standard operating procedures.
