Linux phones are never going to be especially obvious or user friendly. To get those types of features you need a boatload of investment that the open source community can't hope to muster in any sort of reasonable timeframe. For now the choice is privacy vs user friendliness. Currently rooted/de-Googled Android provides one of the best compromises for the average privacy-minded power user, but maybe in a few more years these Linux phones will be mature enough to give Android more of a run for their money.

The Linux desktop is an obvious counterexample. If the open source community can develop user-friendly desktop environments (GNOME, KDE Plasma, Xfce) they can surely develop user-friendly mobile stacks.
