more appropriately, "buy your mom an android"
Best case, it would be astronomically more complicated than just learning to deal with iOS. That's if it's technically possible at all.
Maybe just swap the phone out for something that runs Android natively.
The other replies answered your question already, but this may solve your little "problem" here: Apple offers free in-person training sessions on how to use their products. They're intended precisely for non-technical people like your mother.
So, if you don't want to be the person teaching her how to use iOS, you could look into getting her to attend these sessions instead.
You can fault Apple for many things but this offer of theirs is just great on every level IMHO.
Just sell it and get an Android if iOS isn't working for them. No reason to go through all that extra trouble trying to make iOS like Android when it isn't.
Sell that thing, get a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS
No Android and no custom launchers on iPhone, she'll have to learn using iOS, I think it's just a tad more of a fuss than moving to a different Android flavor, I'd try to look up some videos and materials about it to help her if I were you
Apple is crap and a hugely evil monopolistic destroyer of humanity. There is definitely way to screw iPhones boot loaders and install android.
