Linux-based phone still ‘runs 99% of Android apps’ so you can do more with it, if you wish.

Linux-based phone still ‘runs 99% of Android apps’ so you can do more with it, if you wish.
How does it not have social media or browser if so many apps are compatible? Doesn’t that amount of compatibility mean we can still have social media and browsers?
Based on the article, they have a blocklist of certain apps. You can only install apps they allow. Not sure how extensive the list is, but surely the most popular ones are blocked and they will probably update the list.
I interpret it as “We do not install bloatware such as Facebook etc. by default”.
The fact that Android vendors do this is annoying.
