Its an OS, period. Like in every other context it'll be adapted to its use case. Its unrealistic to think that its going to look like a phone/tablet. Android is and had been running on a hell of a lot more than phones for a very long time now, and most people dont even realize it.
I'll agree with you as an advanced user myself it most likely won't be for me either, but we're not the 99%. The normies benefit from more locked down ecosystems and especially immutable OS's.
I just spend 3hrs literally yesterday in my mothers OnePlus unfucking it, she's only had Androids since she's owned smartphones, yet cant understand Android and actually how to use it, never knows what she does, constantly turns things on and off, shit you CAN'T accidentally do. Non tech people and functionality/control over the OS is never a good thing.
MDM managed devices would make situations like your mother's much easier to manage and handle remotely. Lock down all the stuff she keeps messing up. Id love to have hardware that I could walkaway from that was cheaper than apple and had management like it when using an MDM like Jamf.
