Why are you only listing DEs and not operating systems? (You also missed SXMo and more.) There are many more operating systems [0] and two working GNU/Linux phones, Librem 5 and Pinephone. Why people are ignoring them on HN?

PostmarketOS is, as the name implies, an OS. And I don't think OP was trying to make an exhaustive list.

The point is, there's plenty of "competing" options, but hardly anyone uses them.

The parent started their message with "Why is it so complex to have a foss mobile OS", which is not wrong but pretty misleading, as there are many existing mobile OSes that work quite well.

Yep. My thoughts exactly. Seems like everyone here is forgetting about those two.
