Basically, Android is a so hacked-up version of Linux it is hard to 
maintain. Google has done some drivers and refused to maintain them or
make them follow upstream kernel so devs get frustrated, which is 
legitimate imho.

Also, they have modified so many things in Linux (kernel + legacy 
runtime environment), I'm surprised this OS received such a fame.
