They’re not saying it will. My gaming laptop is already running the same Linux kernel as Android phones so the kernel is great. Then it’s down to the GUI and that might be a good fit for hospitality/healthcare/retail as the article says where some devices are already run in more or less of a Kiosk style with specific purpose. Besides phones are just small PCs anyway, it’s all about the use-case.
Well, Linux users are actually leaping towards mimicking phone operating systems, which is bizarre.
People have been recommending distros that are immutable systems + all applications are sandboxed Flatpaks. You know what system works like this? iOS. You know what system isn’t so restrictive? Windows.
Separating the base system and user installed apps is a good thing for security.
Having flatpak smooth over distro compatibility issues is great.
Locking down a platform to an app store is not.
There are also ways to change the base system still. It’s just the model is to do the ideal thing, which is to install the apps designed into the modern system.

That’s a really really really bad comparison.

Options are never gonna be a bad thing of course.
Idk of flatpaks can really be compared to iOS apps just simply due to how much you can choose to expose
