Again can you name a real world use Android can't do?

Coming home, connecting my phone to keyboard and screen and continuing using it as a desktop. Using it as a thin client for any Linux server with the full access to desktop tools while on the go. Open your email/ssh session with authorization by the smart card, so that even if the phone is stolen or hacked, nobody else will have access to it. 100% defense against the corporate surveillance included in Android and iOS.

Why on earth do you need two separate devices (phone and laptop), when you can use one for both use cases (phone with convergence)? No synchronization or double-backups and maintenance required. Also, decreasing the amount of e-waste is a good thing as well as fighting with the user-restricting duopoly.
It looks like for you Linux itself is also just for tinkering, since you can already do everything with Windows and MacOS, isn't it?
