My intention linking this is not to provoke someone or hurt feelings, moreover to show what we as community or maintainer need to fix.
Regardless how you see it, there is some truth in it, even if I personally disagree with most mentioned points ignoring that Android already runs on 1 Billion devices which is basically Linux...
Ideology over functionality
imagine actually thinking this is a bad thing, i'd take ideology over functionality anytime possible
1if you'd read it you'd see the author has no problem with people who choose ideology over functionality, only people that try to force others to.

At which point? It takes only the Linux kernel. But kernel is the least important part from practical usage perspective. Everything else is different, the bootloader (no GRUB or systemd-boot), screen compositor, sound system (not a Pipewire or PulseAudio), package format, init process, shell, even the standard C library (Bionic instead of glibc).
There are projects to run Linux on phones (see: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices), but it takes huge about of reverse engineering and work.
