The comic is to point out why it’s difficult to grow adoption of a non-android / Apple smartphone.
Even what you think is a simplified explanation is, unfortunately, too complex for most as well. Tech literacy is REALLY bad in many places. Most don’t know what an “operating system” is, in many cases don’t know what a hard drive is (of any kind). Software is basically magic to them. Your explanation is great for people who already know the basic concepts, but sadly most of the population isn’t even at that level.
And this isn’t only the elderly btw, younger people are just as clueless these days because many schools don’t do computer classes anymore.
I feel like its implied by being on lemmy that you already know the basics and most of what was described in the reply though, making your point seem out of place without prefacing you meant the general public being able to use Linux phones and not just lemmings
Oh you misunderstood, I already know all this.
