Okay look I get what we're trying to say here but would it be problematic if I pointed out that Android is also running Linux?

Isn't that like claiming all Linux, Android and MacOS are just UNIX?

I mean not technically.. those products use a separent kernel that has its own development path away from the Linux kernel. Linux is just a compatible Unix kernel but I wouldn't classify it as a Unix operating system since it diverges into its own thing. Android still uses the Linux kernel not some piece of code that they developed and not some commercial Unix product
