Perhaps I somewhat missed your meaning, but did you not use Android before PinePhone?
F-Droid is an alternative repo / market, except containing exclusively F/LOSS.
Along with AOSP based ROMs like Cyanogenmod / Lineage, I consider it one of main things making Android usable at all these last many years.
What I mean is, why do we need to add F-Droid to Linux if we already have something like that on Linux for decades?
Admittedly, most distro's don't distribute exclusively FOSS apps, but adding F-Droid to Linux is like adding Snapd and Flatpack which are doing pretty much the same thing as native package managers, except adding extra bloatware to the mix.
Look at Ubuntu for example:
・aptitude
・apt-get
・apt
・snap
・flatpack
Then you can optionally add nvm, pip, composer, or whatever other development-specific package manager that can double as desktop app package managers.
And this used to be just the first 2 a decade ago, and only the first 2 decades ago.
Now let's add F-Droid to the mix just to cause even more confusion to the users, because why not! ┐(´д`)┌
And then everyone is wondering why both mr. Torvalds and mr. Stallman are complaining about Linux getting bloated...
