Hilariously if you want to actually use Android Things on anything besides their supported hardware you'd still have to write all the low-level code to make it work, plus the Java code to make it work in Android. I hadn't heard of it before either and I'm pretty sure I work in their target market, but that's because they're doubling or tripling the amount of work I have to do to get something working relative to Embedded Linux.
