It did, ask termux guys.

The Linux kernel is an implementation detail.

There is nothing UNIX related exposed to userspace.

Java and Kotlin applications, while NDK APIs are clearly defined,

Or Treble Project for that matter,

Try to use private APIs (which is what the Linux underpinnings are) and the application might be blessed with being killed by the OS.
