lol good luck with that LOL
Some people value freedom more than convenience
It sadly doesn't change the fact that those phones barely exists and the few that does are either incredibly old or only very partially supported.
And we may be fine with that
I have a Jolla C2 with SailfishOS, it has Android app support based on AlienDalvik, and my banking app runs just fine there. I can use Nextcloud, etc. For my needs it runs great.
Been using them for a hot minute, been rocking one flavor of the Linux kernel on my phone since the release of the Motorola Droid back in like 2009-2010.
