Or the other way round, why someone who chooses a PinePhone has not been running GNU/Linux on their desktop/notebook computers rather than macOS for a long time already. It even runs on Apple computers (and not only on 2009 ones

Indeed
just trying to do my bit to save the planet from this crazy consumerism and big tech. I have more than enough working but manufacturer designated 'obsolete' devices here, and of course macos was mandated to play the iOS game, although it has been a perfect OS for most of my enjoyable years of Objective-C (and Java) work. At least it has always 'just worked' unlike every experience I ever had with Linux/BSD PP has appeal because it seems more open (at least software) and more than enough hardware for what I need from a phone.
