I'm not so sure. We need an "IBM PC" of the smartphone world.
It's not a matter of the hardware manufacturers "supporting an OS". It's about the lack of standardization, hardware drivers, fragmentation etc.
Samsung don't support my 15 year old laptop, but it works and works fine, because it's a PC.
If the kernel drivers for my phone were mainlined that would be a huge step.
