E/os is just android.

I do see that Ubuntu touch is an option though.
It’s shameful that most phones run one of two operating systems. There’s not enough competition. I’m still pissed about WebOS and Windows Phone being abandoned. I am hopeful though that web-based apps might make it possible for another OS to enter the market successfully at some point.
Oh, I apologize. I misunderstood your main concern, I though it’s about Google Play instead of Android.
Yes, the only choice for most mobile phones are either Android or iOS. Things like Pinephone and FydeTab Duo exists, but so rare.
