It takes lots of engineering effort to make things svelte. That makes it incredibly hard for "indie" phone makers to come up with something competitive in this regard. Likewise with price --- Android phones with similar specs can be found for only $200.
Why bother when you could pay HMD (aka "Nokia"), Foxconn, ASUS, etc to make a dramatically better phone with your logo and your OS on it?
Can you actually do this with the numbers Furilabs probably expects to hit? Surely there's a minimum number to order before the companies you mentioned will even take you serious.
The Linux phones all fail anyway so if you don't have the volume just don't bother.
