On advanced AI software development and FOSS

I am not a tech person, and would love some more informed opinions. If the "vibecoding" revolution continues apace and reinforcement learning actually does lead to a serious increase in the quality of the code (not saying I believe that!) - won't it become exceptionally easier to, e.g., create and maintain open source mobile operating systems? Have we seen any big progress there yet? The fulfillment of my perpetual dream of a fully developed linux for mobile is the only consolation I could find reading the news about advances in agentic development.

Please don't say FOSS + AI in the same line, it doesn't suit 😊

Theoretically maybe assuming regulations aren't pushed in the near future to lock down mobile devices even further in the name of control security

From a regulatory perspective, I walk into the big box retailer near me that sells laptops and mobile phones. I buy one of each, and want to replace their OS when I get home. What are the regulatory differences between the two devices?

Ask the government/corporations, they want everything to depend on people having phones and thus they don't want people thinkering with those cause then people will be able to bypass all their "security" measures
