Android provides you with a heavily locked down linux kernel and network setup, which is great for app sandboxing, but not great for certain tasks you might want on a server.
For example, android makes it difficult to run userspace containers, like lxc or docker, which also limits what orchestration and deployment systems you can use (since some make very strong assumptions about being able to use containers).
Similarly, various different pieces of server software just won't work because they make use of some linux feature android intentionally builds its kernels without for security reasons.
