It's also based on modified JVM. It still doesn't make Dalvik my operating system.
Android OS can best be described as a ball of mud that evolved soup of (semi?-)proprietary firmware.

It was never JVM. Converting to dex happens on developer side, and that severs anything JVM-like.
Nitpick that doesn't affect my argument. Argument is based on access to underlying hardware not it being JVM.
Since edit window has passed:
Just because it's based on JVM compatible VM, doesn't make ART/Dalvik my Operating system either.
Because neither JVM nor Dalvik are OS.
Android is a kind of Linux just like Dalvik is a kind of JVM.
