I just think the fact it doesn't run on mainline isn't mentioned enough. It's not "just" a Linux phone, it's one with caveats. Your kernel is still outdated, you can't run everything you want (for example KDE Plasma), you're missing out on modern components of the Linux mobile stack like ModemManager.
For existing Android phones that could be argued to be acceptable, but this is a brand new phone targeting the Linux mobile crowd. That makes it _not_ acceptable
