SailfishOS is considered open source but with proprietary components so I agree that it would be better to preinstall a complete open source operating system like Mobian or PostmarketOS. Also an operating system with proprietary components like SailfishOS is not reliable if you want to have updates as long as possible (like on a computer), I had this experience on my original Jolla smartphone with SailfishOS and they stopped providing updates for my device. The only operating system still providing updates for my Jolla smartphone is PostmarketOS but there is no support for calls, SMS or mobile data.
Ideally, when ordering, a good solution would be to add an option to choose the preinstalled operating system, like we can do when ordering a Linux laptop on some websites (so we don't have to reinstall the operating system).
I think it is good that the original PinePhone is still available for purchase since it appears it still has better support than the PinePhone Pro (which is considered pre-beta instead of beta on the Pine64 store) and operating systems like PostmarketOS still rank only the original PinePhone in the main section for most supported devices.
