User land is incompatible even between traditional Linux distros and they all do kernel mods to suit their needs, so yeah, Android is as much of a Linux as Ubuntu is.
Not true at all. Many distros like Alpine are not using GNU userland, yet you would consider them a proper Linux, right? And kernel changes in distros… Don’t even get me started. Suffice to say that no one ships vanilla for decades.

Sounds like it is more correct to refer to it as GOOG/Linux
