I’m not sure how this statement is unpopular. I don’t have specific numbers, but I’m willing to bet the number of people who like Apple’s golden prison and the advantages it brings equals those who’d rather suffer Android for the privilege of sideloading and using deGoogled ROMs.
Mobile Linux suffers from a chicken-and-egg problem: it may or may not be a better mobile OS, but ultimately it doesn’t matter because your bank’s mobile app or your state’s online ID app only runs on Android or iOS. Mobile Linux would have to be a lot bigger for app makers to bother releasing their shit on Linux, but it can’t get bigger because people aren’t using it because it’s not a practical platform.
