it's 2023 and I can't plug my phone into a dock or monitor without fancy bits. At least I can plug in a USB and and it can act as a host.

The _only_ reason I want a linux based phone is so I can just use my phone like a normal device.

The software implementations (who remembers MTP?) for phones kills its usability as a general purpose device.

What do you mean by "fancy bits?". I can plug my Galaxy S23 into the same dock as my Macbook Pro and use DeX with video out and my keyboard and mouse without installing or doing anything other than clicking "ok".
