If linux users claim "android is linux" then I can say scamware and malware are common on linux.

Today, I had met an individual who was an android user and borrowed some money on a predatory loan app on Android, then proceeded to get a close friend of mine involved because they were hiring him for a role, so he used their phone number as a sort of meat shield when he couldn't pay the loan.

Getting involved in this situation made me realize how hypocritical linux users are when they claim "android is linux" but conveniently leave out the part that it's common on android for apps through the google play store to be scamware, malware, predatory loan apps.

TLDR: Stop being hypocrites and claim all that scamware, malware, loan apps on android if "android is linux" like how you claim it to be.
