I wonder about this too. And instead of a secondary, backup android, can't we just emulate andoid in a vm/container under linux? Sounds crazy, but it isn't really.

I present to you https://waydro.id/

Works pretty well, but I've had issues with user input (touch screen) that made it not viable for my purposes (using Signal)

You are literally talking about sailfish os at this point. (what they do isnt exclusive to them)
