Android is really its own platform that happens to use the Linux kernel as a shortcut.
What we're talking about here is really what used to be called GNU/Linux, so the whole platform that is based on the software developed by the various communities.
I think this is needless gatekeeping. Does it matter if someone uses KDE or GNOME? Systemd or openrc? Musl or glibc? They are all part of the Linux community.
I use GrapheneOS for my smartphone and Fedora for my workstation and I consider both to be linux distributions
