Android is a Linux based operating system so saying it stops there doesn’t make any sense. There is a wild variety of Linux OS out there in embedded encompassing a lot of various patchsets, libc and userland. You just have a bad understanding of what are Linux OS if all you think about is the usual distros.

No sarcasm, Bionic libc is a subset of POSIX, Musl strictly follows POSIX 2008 and Glibc is superset of POSIX. 99% of Glibc->Musl porting is dealing with non-POSIX features (a.k.a. GNU extensions)[1]. So in the end we could find that Android apps are more POSIX compliant than software from generic glibc-based distros.
