We must all keep pushing people to go against this and to build up Linux mobile alternatives: PostmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch, JollaOS, and semi by extension, GrapheneOS
The problem is that the most important apps for users aren't on those platforms. Bank apps and identification apps. They need to make apps for those platforms first otherwise a switch makes no sense.
Also I have tried Ubuntu touch and it's a nightmare and dysfunctional. e_OS however works great.
agree, see also official government apps, like medical apps, post office, public transport, etc. i live in europe and those are usually necessary.
Exactly, consumer choice only works as a force in a functional market. Phone OSs are very much not a functional market. This requires regulators to wake up.
