That was literally my point. The reason there’s no linux phone is because everyone keeps trying to work within Google’s ever-shittier restrictions instead of having made real progress on a linux phone alternative. Now everyone is staring down the barrel of a scenario where they lose their non-Google android phone and still the entities that are supposedly working for our privacy are writing letters to Google asking them to please not be such a corporate giant intent on serving ads and knowing the location of 100% of their OS users.
The linux phone landscape is so terrible because developers keep wasting their time trying to work with Google instead of offering an alternative that works.
