• it uses a downstream Android kernel
• it does not use a mainline kernel
• the Android kernel creates dependencies and makes it difficult to keep up to date for more than a couple years
• their AppSuport is literally Android in a container with some proprietary parts
• their apps are scarce as they need to be built for the OS (no Flatpak or any other support for the existing mobile Linux software)
• the UI and some other components are proprietary

I believe those points make clear why I see more of a future in projects like Mobian, postmarketOS, Fedora Pocketblue.

Priced at €649, the Jolla Phone is not intended for the mass market, and company leadership has acknowledged that it will remain a niche product.
