Yeah, I'm wondering, too. Android is a lot worse by design.

I would love to use a Linux phone, but my bank's 2FA doesn't support any.



Depending on your bank, Anbox or Waydroid may help you run your bank's app on your Linux device. Probably a no-go for most banks, but worth a shot to see if it'll work. You can just try it out on a Linux computer/VM first, no need to actually buy a Linux phone just to end up disappointed.

I use LineageOs and without Magisk magic I couldn't use contactless payments (still no Google Pay, but regional Blik contactless is good enough)
