not true, can be programmed over BLE too and you can of course take it apart if you prefer SWD
I'd say it is almost trivial but I may be wrong :-) For starting and learning the version is not important. By the time you learn enough (even with older version) you won't be asking that question. I did not update my builds mainly because nobody had issues with older version and it is probably the same reason for other builds you found. So feel free to jump in. Building your own build from source for any device is a good start.
And BTW Pinetime or P8 is 52832 based watch like Bangle 1. Bangle 2 is 52840 based so it has 4x the RAM (256 vs 64 KB) and 4x faster SPI for updating the display. There are also very cheap hackable 52840 watches like C17/Magic3 or QY03

However I am not saying that P8 is not good enough, it is perfectly fine too.
