ChromeOS uses the Linux kernel ...

So does Android. It's been torn apart and locked down so much, however, that it becomes a totally different OS.

The Android kernel is the upstream Linux LTS kernel with custom patches applied, like most desktop distros. The Android OS is an entirely different tech stack.

Yes. Still is. Don't kniw why you were downvoted. Maybe some people are confusing the ChromeOS base with Crostini (a Debian container)
