Looks like Ubuntu Touch is pretty limiting. I am daily driving PureOS and use Mobian for testing, both with Phosh and it works pretty well. Not as well as a real desktop, but most apps from desktop just work. Sudo apt install, Flatpaks etc or using native Firefox/LibreWolf or the desktop file manager ... it just works. The best of all? They are no smartphones, but pocketcomputers (computers that can also do phone stuff). I also saw people using PostmarketOS, Fedora and KDE Plasma Mobile, sxmo and alike. Pocketcomputers are so cool, all the freedom of desktop Linux on your phone device.
