I know it's changed recently, but for quite awhile the answer to "what can I do on Android that Linux on mobile can't" was "make a phone call."

That class of product issue is why FOSS is different than the marketplace. It's often behind in creature comforts/UI/UX and lightyears beyond in technical capability. Because FOSS developers spend time on things they care about, not about what the market does.

I prefer when FOSS piggybacks onto larger projects. F-droid is amazing, I have all the comforts of real android and the nerdy stuff from FOSS and root addons. I get the best of both worlds, great hardware for the price, great support from a good UI, and great support from the ports of CLI and nerds who also like to have their android phones be real linux computers.
