This is nice, but what problem does it solve? Mobile and Desktop operating systems solve different issues on their own.

Ubuntu tried this - how'd that go?

Second issue is: how do I use it? How can I install it on MY devices?

I'm all for privacy and I want to is it, just seems like a dream and it will never come to fruition

It solves bug #1

This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

Steps to repeat:

    1. Visit a local PC store.
    2. Attempt to buy a machine without any proprietary software.

What happens:

Almost always, a majority of PCs for sale have Microsoft Windows pre-installed. In the rare cases that they come with a GNU/Linux operating system or no operating system at all, the drivers and BIOS may be proprietary.

Ubuntu helped enable Purism to exist and they are great for that too.

Ah, so it does so by redefining the inconvenient bits completely out of bug #1.
