purism already did it with a handful. Their new shell has a great design in my opinion and it runs ok. I'm not a fan of plasma mobile but it seems ok too. The hard part it seems to me is the layers below the actual UI, gpu support, energy consumption etc.
I'm confident these shells will get to the point where they are maybe better for the average phone user than desktop linux shells are for the average desktop user, mostly because reasonable phone UI patterns are more narrowly defined.
I'll bet apps support and camera quality will remain bigger deal killers after the shells mature some more.
