The mainstream Linux stack is getting closer to parity with AOSP and ChromiumOS anyway, gaining features like touch-screen-first input, small-screen support, phone calls & SMS, GPS location, privacy-focused sandboxing etc. It's all about having a single system for the community to focus on, thus reducing fragmentation. AOSP app support can then be layered over the basic system if needed.

Without taking away anything from your argument, I'd like to point out that by most objective measures, Android is the mainstream Linux stack.

I think they meant mainline.
