Lol, humorous, but meh, Android is not Linux.
Android uses a Linux kernel, but the shell/API is Android. Just like we had a Posix API on Windows, and the Win32 API. Using the POSIX API didn't make Windows a POSIX OS.
Android may or may not be posix but it's absolutely Linux. The kernel is Linux. The rest of your typical distro is gnu stuff that was written for a completely different kernel
I think the only argument would be that it's not the mainline kernel. (which saves it from things like the bcachefs nonsense)
You're right; the kernel is still Linux.
