Six years ago the entire Linux enthusiast space was super excited for the PinePhone, then everything fell apart. What went wrong? Was PINE64's favoritism towards Manjaro the sole issue or were there other problems?

Side note : in my opinion the pinephone was always a developer platform and could have succeeded with it's low specs. It failed because of pine64 lack of collaboration with the community that were building the software.
