Hardware switches was Purism but they allegedly took 4 years plus to deliver at times and didn’t honour refunds. Would not touch them. Pine64 delivered quickly. Never tried the pro, it was less mature from what I heard.
The problem with Pine is of course that they don’t even try to deliver on software, so their products are only available for end users if the community has made robust software.
Then again, Purism has also struggled to deliver on their promises. A phone made for Android but embraced by the Linux community is probably the easiest way to go.
Some people in the Linux mobile community have yes, but only a few really.
I did like one of those phones, that had hardware switches for location and camera and microphone and network
