Choosing HW components which are not supported in mainline Linux or don't even have an upstreamable driver ready is the main criticism I have, too. I wish there was a way to have the hardware designed so that is works from day one with a recent Linux kernel instead of the mess with the PinePhone: the WiFi driver is of such a bad quality that it's not upstreamed, and of course totally buggy. Also, a similar situation can also be found with the device firmware: both the USB controller and the modem don't have a good vendor firmware and the community needs to debug this stuff - I wish only known-to-be-working components get selected in the first place.
