Why don't start first by making GNU Hurd is fully functional, and not try to replace an OS that is already FOSS and has wide app adaptation, like Android? And yes, there are bolt-ons like the Google add-ons, but with the FOSS Google replacement plugins, you can get a largely functional FOSS phone. Maybe the FSF could focus on plugging those holes instead of starting from scratch.
Because starting from scratch lets you thump your chest and say "See what we did" vs. the relatively obscure and often thankless task of making something existing better under the hood?
