I gotta say, you had me until you cranked it to 11.
Not being able to call with a phone after an OS update is definitely a deal breaker. But “if I don’t have my phone on me, I’ll die” is the kind of hyperbole that has me doubt your entire testimonial.
Imagine dying wasn’t hyperbole it is a real concern of mine. I commute with a bicycle to work and also cycle a lot in my free time. I wouldn’t be the first cyclist injured or even killed in a hit and run accident, so a phone that is unable to make a emergency call when I need it is not something I am willing to risk.
It was referring to not being able to call emergency services, which may realistically lead to your death. It’s a fairly unlikely scenario, but not a completely crazy one. It’s just a highlight in a sea of issues. Or at least that’s how it looks to me, as I’ve never used a Fairphone. Some people say they work flawlessly.

If you’re hit by a car bad enough then I’d imagine the chances of your Florine breaking during a crash is pretty high, no?
Personally, my Florine is unbreakable.
