Isn't Android... Linux?

It's not "gotcha", just... there are many clones of Android that work without Google Play, because Android (AOSP) is based on Linux. Why not just use that? What does "linux phone" add?

"Linux" is the name of the kernel but people use the word meaning something else.

People want a "Linux Phone" but have trouble explaining what software stack they want and how Android is not already it.
