I understand what you mean; but Android isn't even a regular proprietary either: you can't build the like LineageOS or Amazon's Fire OS with iOS or Windows Mobile (Apple or Microsoft will sue you; Google can't).

Anyway, the point is not Android itself: but Linux's opensource stacks access to the GPUs (with OSS drivers) beyond AMD, Intel and Nvidia.
