I worked with Maemo (N900) and OpenMoko, back in a day. Before that with Nokia and MyOrigo. You are 100% correct, Apps need to be tightly coupled with the underlying UI framework. Outside AOSP, Only Flutter and Qt are credible contenders with the amount of developers and resources. It takes at least a team of 50 - 100 people to make a UI framework for a smart phone. Gnome and KDE can barely make it to desktop.
Also, anything interpreted like JavaScript or Python is too slow for UI apps. Not because of CPU, but because of startup delay caused by the IO hit and getting the code running.
