Hello,
I am surprised that free OS are choosing Android, and sometimes they make the adaptation.
Android is cheap, simple and available.
However FreeBSD is just better and also, it has an enormous advantage: it respects user data and their privacy (without spying).
example:

What about FreeBSD as a replacement for Android, to be intended to mobile devices ? Would you be happy to have FreeBSD instead of Android?
Best regards

example:
ex: kaiosAndroid Open Source Project
Wait? AOSP? I thought the device is run by an OS called KaiOS. If you take a look at the Gonk layer of the KaiOS Architecture, you will recognize that there is indeed a lot of Android build into it. This is actually no surprize as the SoCs manufacturer qualcomm basically provides Android systems for their devices via Codeaurora.
Using some of the Android functionalities saves a lot of money, as KaiOS can just reuse existing hardware bindings and just wrap those.
I do not know, how exactly KaiOS is compiled but I would also guess that it is build from a AOSP alike source tree, as Google basically provides a somewhat messy but quite function build environment that does a lot of things like packing and signing images on its own and I would say that it does it quite well, if you know what you are doing and are reading the documentation.
