At best, the Pinephone is buggy software on low priced but mediocre hardware. It has always been like this, and it is not going to change. There is nobody willing to spend the millions of dollars it would take to make it otherwise.

Meanwhile, AOSP is fully working, open source Linux-based phone software that runs on lots of modern hardware from a variety of manufacturers. Distributions like GrapheneOS have put huge effort into de-googling, privacy and security. Cameras work. SMS works. Phone calls work. There are lots of apps. I hear there are even a few phones that can do wireless charging!

Why waste any more mindshare on the Pinephone?

AOSP has way too much churn for a sensible system. A Linux phone should just work, and share as much of its code as possible with Linux systems running on other device classes; distributions like pmOS and Mobian (and quite possibly Debian Mobile in the future) are working towards this goal.
