Like regular voting, you pick the best one of the bunch; even if it's only marginally better than the rest. Even if it's still terrible.
Repeat. Repeat again.
True, and that's why you can only marginally change anything on the market with that. If no player on the market offers what you want, your only choices are to punish everyone (which they won't notice) or reward one of the least-bad players.
Both can set the wrong incentives for companies to change or continue.
So it's ok to bitch a shitty choices.
Doesn't fit "small". It was also just an example, my actual requirements are longer. I need my banking apps to work too, for example, which likely automatically limits me to Android/iOS. No idea how good they work with Sailfish for example.
What's wrong with your banks website?
I need transaction codes (essentially OTP). Even if I used their website. For that alone I need a supported phone.
So your bank doesn't support any other method than a cell phone for 2fa?
I would be allergic to a bank that requires me to use a device that's notorious for being compromised for "security".
Does your banking app work with waydroid? If yes, then you can use pinephone
Might be worth a shot, but typically they even refuse to work on rooted androids, so I assume whatever security mechanism they expect, it won't be there.
