It does. The style of your argument makes the situation more complicated. No one said mainstream. From the sound of what you're saying, monopolistic companies hindering compatibility will keep it that way. Apps will have bugs that need to be worked out, that's just a given. Stating don't get it because it's not viable atm just makes this cyclical since there will be no consumer push to work the kinks out or let people learn about alternatives.
I think his point is it's a big ask to ask people to deal with buggy/less feature-rich hardware for a product they use - arguably depend on - every day. It's a valid point bring up.
I never said don't get it, I was replying about viable alternatives. It's just not for the majority of the market right now. It sucks, and I'd buy some future Fairphone or equivalent in a heartbeat once I can actually use it as my daily driver phone and not need to carry a second one for business use.
