I hope they choose to focus efforts on linux instead of trying to keep Google from fully obliterating their ability to offer apps on the Android platform.

Even if they are thrown a bone during this fight, it's going to keep happening until they lose. The reason linux is so bad to try to use as a smartphone right now is because entities like these are busy trying to piss up a rope with Google and Android. We could have actually had robust and feature rich linux phones if they had taken the hint when Google first started shitting on people trying to use their Android phone in the way they want to.

Linux phones can also implement features that Google is slow to add in aosp.
