Software side too: Linux's deliberate choice to not have a stable driver interface is detrimental to atomic distros with the usually shitty proprietary vendor drivers. Causing you to get no updates after a few years or get a new device.
Which is why i think BSD would have been a better fit for Android.
BSD would have been a much better fit for many reasons. It was just started with Linux for mostly irrelevant reasons, and then it was too hard to switch away.
Licensing, among others. Google doesn't like the GPL.
That's probably the biggest reason why pretty much everyone else uses BSD.
