PostmarketOS is the mainline Linux kernel and doesn't have all the features that are needed for a proper Android phone. There are a lot of Android userspace drivers that may break with another kernel.

Custom kernels are not upgraded kernels. They usually just back port a few fixes. No custom kernel running Android has a full kernel upgrade because it breaks the KMI and kernel drivers aren't usually updated.

Can you provide a phone with an updated kernel? I have yet to see one on XDA and am really curious

if you use chrome, you can "install" it and it will look like an application then. i do this with spotify

It's mostly for applications which hosts their binaries on third party servers

maybe no password?

EC2 is good but AWS also offers many managed DB services as well. Regardless of what you pick, you need to have redundancies. This could mean you have a replica in another region.
