> If that ever does happen I really hope they just focus on making a proper phone, not trying to make it a hybrid phone and workstation.

It's not a zero-sum game in that regard. The entire point of Linux phones is to get Linux distros working in phone form-factors. Getting them to work as general-purpose computers is the easier, already finished part. Getting them to work as phones is the harder-part, the new work. Removing the easy, already finished part doesn't make writing the camera drivers, modem-handling software, etc. any easier.

> But I’d rather just have a fully functional phone that happens to be Linux.

Without the "workstation" stuff? That's Android.
