What Android plus phones proves is you can get excellent performance and fantastic battery life from Linux and third party HW. This could and should be applied to Linux running on an ARM64 system but not sure why. Maybe economies of scales WRT investment on the phone driver side.
Except it isn't the same.
First of all the userspace is completely different, secondly Android throughout the years has been aggressively changing the ways background process work (in the context of Android activities, not bare bones UNIX), thus it isn't the same as GNU/Linux where anything goes.
