I think ollieparanoid, who founded this project and puts a ton of work into it has a great answer to a very similar question someone had on reddit a while back[0].
I fully agree with his philosophy. This is a project ran completely by unpaid volunteers. And the most important thing is to have fun while working on pmOS. If people have fun getting 10 different desktop environments to run, why not?
If you look at his comment from 6 months ago, only one phone had wifi support. Now, quite a few do[1].
I've read similar comments from OpenBSD devs. They get the best contributions when people work on something they simply want to work on, instead of telling people what needs work.
Progress on getting cellular working is tracked in this issue here[2], if you're curious what the state of that is.
