Since the original user doesn’t actually know the answer to the question asked, its because
Mobile Linux doesn’t support any sort of verified boot like android does, leaving it open to evil maid attacks
Mobile Linux doesn’t sandbox applications as well as android, leaving it open to spyware (Think Facebook intercepting Snapchat DMs, not old school steal your credit card spyware)
and I feel like there’s a third major big thing but I can’t recall it at the moment. Android’s security model is genuinely one of the most secure out of any modern operating system. I’m all for Linux phones, but they need to prioritize parity with Android security before I daily drive one.
Would you care to elaborate with specific examples?

Yeah, I though of those two & it’s just a thing that would get/will get developed if we get to daily drive Linux phones, imho.
Its not like it didn’t take Android years to get those two aspects covered.
