I (and probably most of us) use them everyday! Things like NTPd or OpenSSL have, for years, been developed by a single guy, as far as i can recall. Maybe you can use this as part of your pitch, "you already trust lots of solo devs for

LineageOS used to have this feature, by swiping the navbar. Unfortunately, it was based on some hackery by HTC or Huawei and it's not feasible anymore.
