That is a bit of a myth, it is definitely not true now days and I doubt
it was ever outside of very early feature phones.

I display the attribution text from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osmlab/editor-layer-index/gh-pages/sources/world/OpenStreetMap-Mapnik.geojson
(~38 characters) plus a logo plus zoom buttons at the bottom of the
screen on essentially any Android phone I've ever tested  (which for
example includes a 2010 HTC Desire HD) and it fits .

Does having to display the attribution constrain the layout, sure, but
that isn't different than for example if you would be using google, so
not a hardship  that only we are inflicting (and naturally essentially
every imagery layer has attribution requirements that are similar).
