There's good solutions and simple solutions, phone signers feel like the worst of both.
Nice summary. It is too bad though because phones have a power source, a processor, memory and a camera or nfc, so they have all the tools you might need to be a hardware signer. It's just a bummer they are so owned by the google and apple.

I actually assumed that Huawei's ran android, but upon looking it up just now, I learn that they run HarmonyOS. So I guess there are three stock OS options out there.
