I do not really consider Android to be “Linux” (in terms of what it stands for). It’s a proprietary operating system from Google that uses an open source kernel.
I understand what you mean; but Android isn’t even a regular proprietary either: you can’t build the like LineageOS or Amazon’s Fire OS with iOS or Windows Mobile (Apple or Microsoft will sue you; Google can’t).
Anyway, the point is not Android itself: but Linux’s opensource stacks access to the GPUs (with OSS drivers) beyond AMD, Intel and Nvidia.

That’s true, but I think we need to move beyond half measures and in a way, now is the perfect time to do this.
