Really they should be making it for existing phones. The mobile Linux scene is pretty barren

It's extremely difficult since every phone SOC has its own closed proprietary blob of drivers that's required to make use of it.

Doesn't the ESP32 module this project is using require the same thing?

They have some blobs for wifi/ble, but the difference is you can freely use them, whereas obtaining the blobs for most phone SOCs is hard.
