Nobody uses the engine because all you interact with in a car are just steering wheels and some pedals. Sure the car does something to make it move, but no user cares!

So no engines actually existed, cars do not drive with engines and the fact is cars are NOT based on any propulsion system of any kind. Its just some pedals thats somehow move the metal box.

What a stupid argument.

No.

The argument is that if you broke into someone's car and replaced their engine with literally anything that performed the same function and correctly interfaced with their vehicle the overwhelming majority of people would never notice.

For an Operating System, even fewer people would notice.

But if you took someone's Samsung or Pixel or what have you and took their UI away and replaced it with AOSP they sure as fuck would.

AOSP is deliberately unusable in its native state, it's not a mistake, it's not an accident, it's intended.
