As many pointed out, lack of apps.
Don't know how much it improved over the years,
but battery life wasn't the best either.
What Linux mobile needs to gain traction imo,
would be Android app virtualisation.
Kinda like Waydroid, WSL, WSA, WinApps, WinBoat...
But then specifically for seamless Android apps on Linux mobile.
That could close the gap of lack of apps,
resulting in more users/devs,
resulting in more native apps,
eventually resulting in less need for Android apps on Linux mobile.
Sailfishos has this their own Android App Support. That integrates Android apps to native UI quite beautifully what I have seen
