That is what they refuse to accept, Android isn't UNIX, it just happens to use Linux kernel.
The official APIs are Java based, ISO C and ISO C++ standard libraries, and the NDK libraries that ship on device.

Google is killing Android as a general-purpose computing platform.
Phones were never a general-purpose computing platform to start with.
That's begging the question; the only reason phones aren't general-purpose computers is because Google and Apple tend to block out anything that would let the user actually use the computer as more than a toy.

Yeah, and Q-Tips weren't meant to go in your ear, but we do it anyway. Modern smart phones are built to run applications - they're built with a CPU, RAM, and storage, just like your desktop. The only thing special about them is the integration of the cellular phone radio/modem into the main chip. Doesn't matter what they were or weren't "meant for", it matters what they _are_. Smart phones, nowadays, are essentially general-purpose ARM computers with really good power management.

That may be the case, but that's the reason why termux exists. If termux accepts that, the only logical consequence is to cease development.
