Android and iOS need to be shaken up so badly that I welcome more or less anything into this space, no matter how flawed. That said, I think the chances I buy one of these is very low. At the moment, I keep a smart phone solely so that finding work is not difficult. You need quite the personal network to explain that "I don't have a smart phone."
Otherwise, I'm trying to abstain from smart phone usage as much as possible: the market is probably _never_ going to solve one which solves addiction problem. (the best solution for this is to have a desktop computer which you only sit at for specific tasks)
On the other hand, if I could run my company's OTP and it were much more private than iOS or Android I would probably jump ship.
You "welcome" this because the market needs to be shaken up "so badly", but won't buy it? What does that mean then, that you'll allow it to exist "no matter how flawed"? I'm genuinely confused as to what this is trying to say

What otp are you using? You can ask in the forum of sailfishos if it runs
