No one wants it? If there is no demand, then no one is going to become a supplier. You don’t even want the apps you’re dreaming of building, you wouldn’t use them. If you would use them, you would already be using apps that are available. It’s why developers claim huge benefits but the output is the same, there isn’t much demand for your average software company to push more output, the bottleneck is customer demand. If anything customer demand is falling because of AI. There is no platform that is blowing up for people to shovel shit to. Everything is saturated, there is no room for shovelware.

The argument isn’t only applied to creating new todo apps. If the speed up was true, we’d be existing open source tools with more and more features, more polished than ever etc.

Instead I’m not waiting for something like Linux on smartphones to come so soon.

The human barrier to Linux on smartphones is that the drivers for them exist only in old vendor forks of the source tree and Android.

I guess someone could try a prompt of "generate a patch set from Linux tree X to apply to mainline Linux for this CPU".
