Likewise google has cornered the android market by closely controlling how Google services like the playstore are allowed to be used.

Which has unfortunately led to android requiring the stupid Google feed page on the left, overall lack of performance increases, and stagnated development of new features as many OEMs have dropped out.

I wish linus would stop referring to android as Linux. It has become a blatant rip of FOSS to further google's interests and is an insult to android's own history considering just how much more advanced it was than iOS back when it became mainstream.

Not to mention it still runs on ART which is basically just the mobile version of JVM which is still Java which runs like garbage compared to modern standards.

It's stupid seeing Java wrappers for basic things included with most Linux installs like rsync or ssh.

I would pay serious cash money to see a Linux mobile OS developed but I just don't see it happening anytime soon. Ubuntu is playing with it, but it's still very limited and the UI is static AFAIK so you can't easily change it without recompiling.
