Yeah I think you’re right. This will be the main drive behind adoption; even as an enthusiast I was sceptical to try a Linux phone; but google’s predatory policies ultimately forced my hand; it’s only a matter of time before more end up feeling like they have no choice.

Android isn’t the bastion of open source freedom it once was. We need a new (or GNU heheh) approach.

I’m using an Ubuntu touch device as my main driver these days (currently on volla Quintus)

It’s good, but it’s not there yet in terms of ease of use. If you’re not a Linux enthusiast, you will likely have a bad time on UT (can’t comment on sailfish, though I’d imagine it suffers in a similar way).

The largest problem is app support… By a mile. Most apps I use are just web apps I’ve had to manually setup. You can emulate an android and boot into it with waydroid, which will allow you to install apks; But honestly that feels like a cop out… which is why I try to make use of web apps where I can. (It also destroys your battery life… As you’re essentially running two phones).

Nosism is well established in the English language; I can’t even see what you’re talking about in the OP; but had I seen ‘we’ in place of ‘I’ or ‘Me’, I would have taken it to mean the context is the application, rather than the developer.

Also, a team can be one person.
