IMO Android is working towards having a compatibility layer so that drivers can be freely shared across distros. Look up Project Treble.

  That still requires cooperation from the SoC vendors. If they aren't interested then Treble will go nowhere.

    Treble is required by the Vendor Test Suite for Android 8 and higher. https://source.android.com/devices/architecture https://source.android.com/devices/architecture

      This is probably still in Google's best interest, since it greatly reduces the cost for OEMs to distribute updates (and updates are one area where Android severely lags behind iOS)
