It may also be that it feels obsolete in terms of distro support. Take the support for rtl8723cs in the mainline rtw88 driver that landed with Linux 6.10.
In the old days, projects like Mobian (npub1ua9…sk4k) or postmarketOS (npub1vnu…8mqn) would have jumped on this, yet, AFAIK, only Adam Pigg (npub16ss…2rua) #SailfishOS port ships this so far.
It's normal and still sad - while we have mainline support many Qualcomm devices (e.g., Pixel 3a), the PinePhone support is still more complete.
