We are probably focusing on the wrong use case here.

Yes this virtualization allows us to run windows/linux. Thats not the main goal probably. Its more to reuse packages from those stacks on your android phone, kinda like the VMware Fusion mode on a Mac, to run applications side by side, or to run things in a secure virtualized container.

Why recompile to android, when you can virtualize?

Why Linux when you have Termux?

Unless Termux folks acknowledge Android's userspace API is Java and not POSIX, they won't be around for much longer on newer Android versions.
