Did people just forget what a frontend actually is?
Most of what is on this list are alternatives, not frontends.
Frontends have a specific purpose. To access a service while circumventing an undesired restriction. Such as Newpipe for YouTube or Nitter for Twitter. It is not just an alternative app or client.

Honest question, is there something wrong with F-Droid concerning privacy?
Some people aren’t a fan of F-droid managing the signing keys and that sometimes F-droid builds/deployments can take a bit. There is an argument for developer-managed signing keys being better than registry-managed signing keys for trust, but that also doesn’t make F-droid “bad”. While I’m not fully versed on it, I think the issue here only applies to the main F-droid repo since other repos might have different policies around builds and signing keys.
Personally, I like the experience of managing my most used apps through Obtanium via the devs git releases, but I only use that if the dev is good about publishing their signing key so it can be verified with AppVerifier. Otherwise, F-droid is safer than running an app installed without verifying the signing key.
