The Pinephone and Librem certainly leave a lot to be desired when it comes to hardware but I'd consider those 2 more proof of concept devices. Still, the Pinephone is 100% usable as a daily driver as long as you don't expect flagship performance from it. I reolaced Android with it for years and watched it improve greatly. When it comes to software, mobile Linux is perfectly usable. At least when running PHOSH. GTK4 and Libadwaita have made huge improvements, you can find apps that scale to work on mobile screens for most things. There's a handful of SD-845 devices able to run mainline Linux now as well. I wouldn't call it a pipe dream. I will agree with you on one thing though, Ubuntu Mobile was and is garbage. Then again, I wouldn't even use Ubuntu on desktop either.
