A shame it is not available for iOS (at least I can see).

Your mistake chosing an iPhone.

If there was a Linux approach to smartphones, I’d be interested. Instead, it’s a choice between two large corporations. And one of them receives the majority of its income from advertising. So that’s why I chose what I perceived to be the lesser of the two evils.

The lesser of two evils is Android as it's like they put closed-source software on top of open source software (see AOSP) whereas on iPhone it's all closed.

There are Linux phones, like the Pinephone and postmarketOS, but they're not as polished as Andrpoid and iOS
