Yeah Android is Linux. But Manufactures are limiting it so hard that it is sometimes nearly impossible to get a custom ROM on the phone.
It's open source so that anyone can manufacture a phone for it (good for business), not so you could install whatever you want on the hardware (bad for business)...
Yeah but unfortunately with Android it's what Google wants and not what the end-user wants. That's why Linux itself is very important, the user gets to decide what they want to do with it.
