Plain and simple: because you don't have admin rights.

I installed termux in my android phone and even enabled a GUI in it. I could legit install programs "just like other linuxes". That would be stupid tho but it was cool to do.

"That would be stupid tho"

-What? And not be able to use nVim, LF, DWM, Ucollage, and nsxiv? -lol

No no no, its "not Linux"! Which is bad! Or it "is Linux" if that's actually bad instead! Duh?

I don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about.
Android uses the Linux kernel. So it is a Linux system.
But only in the same way as your Chromebook, your TV, your car's entertainment system and your programmable vibrator are Linux systems.
Doesn't mean "good" or "bad", doesn't mean "hackable" or "free software".

Although on Android, it's trivially easy to install a proper Linux with all rights, and access to the phone's sensors, sms, phone calls, GPS, etc. in a chroot environment.

I was sarcastically mocking the guy who makes all the posts in this community

I saw it as affirming my point. Linux users use naming conventions that suit them.

Debian is 'stable' -because it never gets updated. -But to evangelist: because it supposedly doesn't crash (same could be said for WinME though if you were careful what you ran on it).

Linux evangelist calls Android Linux if it suits their line of defensive argument at the time. Denies if if they're arguing whether Linux has spyware or ads. (and for that matter, lets look at Mozilla, Fedora, KDE, etc.)

Oh I'm sure that you did

Ugh, my car runs an os from Microsoft.
