I thought Ubuntu Touch was dang near useable years ago, what someone considers “daily drivable” is probably subjective. If dumb phones had a web browser I’d probably settle for that as I self host and every service has a WebUI.
It’s honestly not the feature set of Linux on Mobile that holds me back from the permanent switch, it’s consistent availability of compatible hardware.
And there’s great strides happening towards fully open mobile hardware platforms.
The year of Linux on Mobile is steadily approaching. I predict it’ll be similarly disruptive as Android’s meteoric rise.
You’re quite right, I’ve forgotten how frustrating it was not knowing if I could get a hold of a replacement if my daily driver custom ROM Android gave up the ghost back when custom ROMs weren’t as widely supported as now.
