Tldr: because it's got a learning curve and needs to get bugs removed.

I'm all for a Linux OS for smartphones. But it needs to work well. Not to mention having good apps or app emulation.

Command *dial* not found.

$TaseAFeminist4Jesus> sudo dial 911

One of the primary reasons for this is carriers not allowing GNU/Linux phones on their networks.
