False.

The usage of that proprietary kernel as part of Android is mainstream - there's no "technically".

I'm not sure where you even get this from, as no part of the typical LiGNUx user experience is doing that.

Sometimes you run into proprietary sabotage, but usually someone has made a wiki post with step by step bash commands how to workaround it, that you can just copy paste.

Such user experience is much better than trying to follow a video guide or news article about how to use some braindead GUI.
