Are what point do they stop pretending and just make it a pure linux platform with a different packaging format for any linux app to run in? They are doing it with CROS (or whatever the new Chrome on Linux OS is being called) and maybe it’s time to do it with Android. Running a VM just seems quite wasteful.
But Google would much rather keep all of the data for themselves. If you could actually control what’s happening in your phone, it could interfere with Google’s main business model.

I would muuuch rather a full Linux phone, and run Android apps in waydroid then have an android phone and run Linux apps in a VM…
I wish postmarketOS had a fully working phone that you could daily drive that was slightly more modern and worked on USA networks.

Desktop Linux has nearly no app security. So the VM approach is a malware prevention. Android is the most used OS in the world.
