Yes it can be.

I would rather point 2 things out.

  1. Android compatibility will surely help because new phones will offer a superset of that functionality. Sailfish's is a proprietary layer but I don't think it is hard to develop anbox further.

  2. Develop some exclusive apps for these phones (not very hard, port some nice Linux apps). Use a brilliant window manager config and people will be impressed.

GNOME & Firefox are doing it since ever.
