I didn't know of this project, however my first thought at putting the ideas "ubuntu" and "phone" together would be: another phone that doesn't respect you.

This comes from the way ubuntu forces stuff you might not want, like the amazon app, telemetry and stuff like snap.

I might be thinking unfairly.

(meanwhile purism takes great pain to think of the user compassionately via GPL)

Amazon searches were a huge mistake of theirs, but they don't force anything, you don't have to use snap or submit telemetry. Much bigger problem with Canonical is they think it's okay to have some tightly integrated bits and pieces that are proprietary and not to contribute some fixes upstream.

I have to disagree. My experience trying to disable or remove snap led me to believe they designed it to be hard.

UBPorts Ubuntu Touch apps are GPL, they have their Appstore called OpenStore.
