Android is AOSP, it has no Google at all. Don't confuse OEM ROMs and Android Open Source Project. As someone with GrapheneOS I can only laugh when someone calls iOS more private

I don't confuse anything. All flavours of Android are secure systems, but that doesn't mean they're all private.

I definitely agree with you that Graphene is more private than iOS, which is probably more private than most OEM Android systems out there.

true, but most think of oem roms when they here android

When I hear Android, I think of Android. And that word encompasses everything imo. That's how most people use the word in my experience.

If someone means AOSP specifically, they'll say AOSP

exactly. i think the term 'android' should be used as an umbrella term only, like linux.

"im running linux"

yeah but what distro? same with android

Exactly, but it's inexcusable when a tech discussion happens. You either know it, or dare to shut up (not you precisely, though). Don't be a hypocrite, only facts.
