Apostrophy OS is a new smartphone operating system aiming to be a third choice between Android and iOS.
The OS is based on Android but heavily modified for user privacy, offering complete control over personal data.
Apostrophy OS features a unique home screen called the "Domus," a customizable home screen called the "Piazza," and a suite of apps and services focused on privacy.

It's an OS optimized for mobile usage, yes and it is heavily modified. What's your concern then ? Is it the name Android that frightens you ?

There are many Android based OS for phones. Graphene is a privacy focused Open Source OS which already fills the niche Apostrophy supposedly does. https://grapheneos.org/

I know that, I'm just trying to understand their hate towards Android in particular. It's just an open source OS

I think it comes from the article seeming to be oblivious to all the other alternative android OSes.
