As a person who is totally unaware of anything going with Pinephone and other Linux phones, i'm asking -- are they really unable to make phone calls? Or only in some specific cases?

You can't make phone calls in case you only want open source software. GSM Baseband software is notoriously closed and that's practically enforced by law.
