Looks like PostmarketOS (mainline Linux for phones, with choice of frontend, such as Plasma Mobile or Phosh) has demoted all their previous "Main"-tier devices to "Community" or lower tier:

Anyone know whether this is a sign of a push for being daily driver quality? Or a sign that volunteers previously doing promising work have drifted away, and they're acknowledging that?

I am the pmOS maintainer for the PinePhone. It was demoted from main to community because I was the only maintainer and one of the criteria for main is to have two or more maintainers. ( https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merg... ) Originally many pmOS core devs were maintainers, which is why it was in main, but they all lost interest and it was about to be demoted to testing / unmaintained, so I volunteered to become the maintainer to stop that from happening.

A blanket statement of a phone being "of daily driver quality or not" is impossible to make because everyone has different expectations of a "daily driver". I have been daily-driving the PinePhone since 2021 (it is my first and only smartphone) but that doesn't mean everyone else will be happy with it.
