Could give the librem 5 or PinePhone a big boost. But it would not help with battery life.

I think the number of people who have a Librem phone but want to run iOS on it is basically zero.

Wrong. There are people who would like hardware kill switches but are required to run either iOS or Android apps for work. With iOS in a VM, you could truly "log out of work" and shutdown that part of your phone when not needed without carrying a second work-specific device.

With a $150 GrapheneOS Pixel for things that matter, you could shut the other phone off and truly "shut off work".

Yep. Just buy an anything-shitty Android phone in 7-11 and use that

And they would not want to do that on a Librem phone. Librem phone is for the tiny subset of people who want a computer with a free BIOS as well as a fully-free Linux distro like PureOS.
