Semi-ignorant take incoming: could we see some sort of Linux for phone where the Android apps we must have (banking apps, etc.) can run through a sort of dockerized android OS and be self-contained for the user? I feel like the processors can reach that point where the experience feels the same to the end user while VMs/containers are doing the heavy lifting in the background.

It seems to have been tried, with seemingly mixed results:

The general consensus seems to be that the phones are largely still in beta and not really suitable for mainstream use yet.
