Does that mean we’ll start seeing desktop apps like IDEs running in Android? How are you going to develop python on android? A linux container / VM? That’s going to be so wasteful. But I am curious.

It won’t be good for flashing though. Probably once support ends, it’ll be a slow brick upon which one can’t install linux.
