Pretty standard? Hardly.Pretty standard?

They have a pretty standard, but minimal, base system, where their android stuff runs on top of it. Have you actually tried to check facts before answering? Bionic is pretty darn stripped libc and their utilites don't even try to pretent they support POSIX. It's kind of Unix-like environment, but it's not Unix at all. And "Adroid stuff" is not really tied to Linux - they can switch to other kernel if it and when it'll be feasible. The fact that GNU/Linux was called just Linux for years now returns to bite you: most people say "Linux" and assume it's kind of GNU/Linux where you can use "normal Linux programs" - and Android is quite different from that.

I don't care what people "assume" ... Linux is the kernel, not
