There are full Linux distros for phones nowadays. They're still in alpha stages, but they're getting better all the time

But that's been true for at least 15 years. It's still very difficult to get a reliable, usable Linux phone, and betting on one being right around the corner has been a long term bad bet. I say that as someone who still uses an N900. Can't wait until I can get Nemo on a reasonably priced modern phone.
