There’s GrapheneOS that I think would try to address this problem — secure, proper architecture, compatible with some major app stack (e.g. Android apps). It’s AOSP-based, but they’re already thinking ahead up to a point where they would be forced to fork it and even work with OEMs to create their own phone hardware for it. There are a couple of threads on their Mastodon.
I don’t know how much they would be able to achieve, but I would pay for such system.
Yes, unfortunately. It’s their con, but also their pro at the same time. It’s bad because they end up isolated from everyone else playing nice with each other, and then no one wants to deal with them, but they also don’t agree on compromises that might hinder security or the stability and development of their project. And I respect that. That is partly a reason why they created probably the most secure and private AOSP distrubution nowadays.
they don’t compromises that might hinder security or the stability
I call BS on that one. It feels more to me like they are seeking power and control. They could seriously benefit from working with other projects but they don’t.

Graphene doesn’t play nice with others
