Android and ChromeOS are based on the Linux kernel. Arduino has no standard OS from what I'm aware.

Arduino uses bare metal C++ runtime, which is an OS of some sorts.

Android and ChromeOS use a fork of Linux kernel, with legacy drivers written in C. What GNU/Linux users would call regular drivers.

Project Treble drivers are written in a mix of C++ and Java.

ChromeOS uses a mix of C++ and Rust for its drivers.

Linux fans have to come to grips that its place on Android and ChromeOS is only a convenience for a POSIX like kernel.
