This is a genuine question with no ill will towards you: Why would there be? If you want the hardware of the Librem 5, you can buy it. I doubt PINE64 would be able (or willing) to manufacture the Librem 5 for cheaper or create a whole new design for the same hardware. Either way, I don't think the PinePhone's speed/responsiveness issues are in the (in)capabilities of the hardware as much as they are in the (im)maturity of the software.
Having bought the Manjaro edition, I can feel an improvement in performance and battery life in the last few months, now imagine what changes the people who have been here for all of last year have seen. I think we ought to Just Wait™ for a while longer before passing judgement on the PinePhone's hardware.
