I don’t have a fucking clue what you’re talking about.
Android uses the Linux kernel. So it is a Linux system.
But only in the same way as your Chromebook, your TV, your car’s entertainment system and your programmable vibrator are Linux systems.
Doesn’t mean “good” or “bad”, doesn’t mean “hackable” or “free software”.
Although on Android, it’s trivially easy to install a proper Linux with all rights, and access to the phone’s sensors, sms, phone calls, GPS, etc. in a chroot environment.
Plain and simple: because you don’t have admin rights.
No no no, its “not Linux”! Which is bad! Or it “is Linux” if that’s actually bad instead! Duh?

Ugh, my car runs an os from Microsoft.
