Operating systems like iOS and Android are designed as media consumption devices (e.g.: for watching TikTok or Instagram). They are barely usable as a general purpose computer.
Several libre mobile operating systems aspire to imitate iOS and Android. With good intent: so that user familiar with these are familiar with the new libre OS.
The downside is that these new libre platforms are not well-designed mobile computer operating systems; they're mostly imitations of media consumption devices.
