OpenHarmony is open source. There are also: Ubuntu Touch and Sailfish OS being developed. Actually I am writing this from Sailfish OS. I can login to my bank using a web browser here in the EU. I have Telegram, Signal clients, maps, sideloaded packages, full terminal - I fully control the phone, in contrast to Android. I don't own and don't need Android phone at all. So definitely more people should usealternatives to closed Android/iOS.

Ah yes, sailfish is actually pretty usable. (Unlike Ubuntu Touch, tbh). I've used it in the past on my Nexus5 for some years. However, they are still not 100% open source and they're too much into the AI-Hype as of recently (Mind2). Also, I'd like to have more official ports. It's such a hassle to be dependent on that one guy who maintains that port for your device...
