An iPhone can communicate with other devices over open protocols, which is different from the proposed un-reachability and privileged access to the network.

Elites abandoning a world they judged unworthy in favor of vendor lock-in sounds pretty dark to me
Right behind you by a few years
People were generally onboard with liberating plantations, but the question of what to do with the previously disenfranchised was asked, framed, and guided by the previously slave owners. There was the option to give out land and cast a broad social safety net, but White hand wringing abolitionists couldn't get passed "what if Blacks are lazy and stealing from me?" So they leaned on "they can pull themselves up by the bootstraps", but to clear their consciences they also needed to claim they were lifting themselves up by their own bootstraps as proof that they'd contributed to building a system where that's possible. Yada yada, the system that manifested was wage slavery, a late 19th century nail in the coffin currently burying us alive!
without installing another distro over the top of it ... [replace] package managers
The package manager is the distro, though.
$ pacman -S apk-tools
$ apk add alpine-base linux-lts
Then kexec to alpine's kernel and the initramfs generated by its installation (which would incidentally "replace" PID 1 with the new /sbin/init). For clean up you could take a diff of "tar -t" for all the installed packages from both distros then delete the files only in the old distro's packages.
Make a self-compiled distro your target.
Replace the first step with a compilation of apk, abuild everything required by alpine-base and linux-lts (git clone aports to bootstrap that work), then add the package directory to /etc/apk/repositories before the second step. Next, begin to worry that you haven't fully broken free yet, replace abuild with a bespoke mybuild and apk with tar -x, grapple with signed binaries, reflect on your own identity and authenticity, then take a tour through gentoo and find yourself missing the $HOME you left and its familiar comforts.
Internet revolutionaries revealing that "eat the cul de sac" was internalized self-loathing all along.
