Their firmware isn't opensource. At least not fully. Only the EC firmware has been opensourced, that is the firmware for the micro-controller responsible for the battery, keyboard, buttons, LEDs, sensors, and so on...

The boot firmware, responsible for getting the CPU and hardware in a bootable state, is absolutely proprietary. There is initial support for one specific framework motherboard in coreboot, a partially libre boot firmware, but it's very new and I don't know exactly what is and isn't supported...

I thank you meant "completely", which is totally different to "complacently"

They've been pretty tame lately, but there have been issues historically that made a lot of people (rightfully) mad. You ca read on them here: https://manjarno.pages.dev/

That was a fantastic read. Highly recommend (despite old site)

Probably never. Gnome is working on their own mobile port. If I'm not mistaken this is partly due to the fact that Phosh and Gnome diverged too far from one another. Although I think some Phosh code is being reused.

For β- yes, but not for β+

Fair but Ubuntu Touch is not mainline Linux. It's a hack to get a GNU/systemd Userland working with an Android kernel (which arguably is also a huge feat)

Sure, but PMOS is by far the most complete and "daily-ready" mobile mainline Linux distro out there. In fact I'm pretty sure both Mobian and MoA use the PMOS kernels...
