I installed termux in my android phone and even enabled a GUI in it. I could legit install programs “just like other linuxes”. That would be stupid tho but it was cool to do.
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?
