With Wayland and container-based packaging 'regular' Linux is coming close, but it's till going to be years before it's up to were Android is.
Sailfish OS (being a smartphone Linux that is based on, among other things, Wayland, Qt, and systemd) is actually not at all bad. As a base system it is rock solid and does what it is supposed to do. It's certainly not “years before it's up to where Android is”. Granted, some of the preloaded productivity apps could use a few more features, but even stock Android is, in many cases, nothing to write home about in that area. And my Sailfish-OS based phone has other advantages, too – having to charge it only once every three days when the Android phone I used to have lasted barely 24 hours on one charge is a definite plus in my book. Oh, and proper multitasking, too.
