I imagine that was part of it, but I doubt it's the actual main reason. More of a post justification.

A lot of the answers here are short or quippy. So, here's a more detailed take. LLMs don't "know" how good a source is. They are word association machines. They are very good at that. When you use something like Perplexity, an external API feeds information from the search queries into the LLM, and then it summarizes that text in (hopefully) a coherent way. There are ways to reduce hallucination rate and check factualness of sources, e.g. by comparing the generated text against authoritative information. But how much of that is employed by Perplexity et al I have no idea.

It is a full Linux stack. It is not Android. It has its own set of apps. Written in Qt with C++ (mostly) and their own UI framework, Silica. It can run Android apps through a layer similar to Waydroid.
