Android introduces far more incompatibilities, and the kernel mods are more impactful than the vast majority of other systems. Userspace incompatibilities are basically negligable for most distros.
It's differences are substantial enough that I think it makes sense to treat it as a separate os.
Not true at all. Many distros like Alpine are not using GNU userland, yet you would consider them a proper Linux, right? And kernel changes in distros... Don't even get me started. Suffice to say that no one ships vanilla for decades.
