That's cool. Unfortunately Linux phones, including Sailfish, aren't really fit for daily use yet, imo.

Also, the choice to use Sony phones confuses me. I cannot think of a worse design choice for a phone.

They aren't particularly secure, or particularly well built, I just don't see a reason to base the OS on them.

Consider this:

โ€Yetโ€ ??

I had the OG Jolla as my daily driver circa iPhone 4 era, and it was great experience overall. Running Android apps and whatnot. Eventually the camera and display quality made me stop using it. Still boot it maybe once a year for the fun of itโ€ฆ I think the Sailfish OS did even receive updates till ~2021.

How does Sailfish get around most banking apps requiring Google play services, for example?

It doesn't. Same kind of experience as degoogled Roms wrt that.

So, again, not fit for use yet. Sadly. GrapheneOS works pretty well for now.

Let's see what happens with the latest developments where Google took some code closed-source.

I guess they can be happy to have any manufacturer working with them. Sony is better than no partner.
