Old is not always obsolete, the displays are fine.

If hardware works in android it'll work in linux, android runs on top of linux, but the core issue here is allwinner not building newer kernels for their old soc's. A lot of driver kernel modules are also only provided by manufacturers as binary blobs, this is a well known issue for Android and Linux in general and why eg LineageOS can;t always update the kernels either because they have to maintain compability with closed source binary blobs.
