This is mostly how I’ve been using my smartphone and tablet for years when it comes to computing (still use the smartphone as an actual phone) - when I’m out and about the smartphone is just a hotspot for when I have no free WiFi and I do most stuff on the tablet.
The problem is that there are very few Linux tablets and they’re all on the large size (10"+) hence you can’t just carry them in your back pocket or coat pocket.
So that means Android tablets, which means you’re still running Google’s eavesdropping OS.
Further, more and more companies and even official institutions now push you to use their apps in Android. Just recently my bank decided to scrap their perfectly sane and secure secondary authentication mechanism (which was literally a plastic card with lots of codes and thus pretty much not hackable and whose weaknesses were entirelly known and consistent for all users) for mandatory installation of their Android banking app on people’s smartphones to use (I! Kid! You! Not!) the phone’s fingerprint and facial-recognition systems (thus being exposed to the weaknesses of who knows how many different HW and SW combinations).
