In newer versions, some partitions are duplicated for seamless update support. For example my phone has a system_a/system_b & a vendor_a/vendor_b. It makes installing custom ROMs a little annoying but it's fine.

Android is based on Linux for, well, the kernel but that's where shared components end. It's like how macOS uses FreeBSD userland components but nothing else.

I remember screwing around with custom roms back in like ~2014 and how much easier it was without this bullshit.
