Waydroid: a container-based approach to boot a full Android system on GNU/Linux

It would be cool if waydroid could be also DE. Especially on Linux mobile.

DE? In what sense? Why u would want this? It now integrates in existing Linux mobile where each android app looks like it different app launching

No so you can use waydroid as other DE like you can choose on login KDE and GNOME.

You can choose to run waydroid as your DE.

So, you just want an Android interface on a Linux phone?

The point of Waydroid is to ensure Android apps working on a Linux phone. DEs don't do that.
