You're still missing the point that I actually rebutted: that Android's open source bits were mediocre and there exist FOSS components which are better.
Regardless, nobody ships AOSP because everyone wants to differentiate their platform by adding their own functionality on top. There are tons of AOSP-based ROMs on XDA, just go look. But with the abundant number of projects to tweak and modify Android, very few people build purely AOSP ROMs. They all add xposed or xprivacy or whatever because that's what they want to use.
Besides, saying nobody ships AOSP only phones doesn't mean they aren't usable, it just means that are better alternatives.
I acknowledge your rebuttal. Those components are fine.
But that doesn't change overall argument that the open parts of Android aren't a complete solution to make a competitive modern phone. What Google calls 'Android' is not just AOSP. So while AOSP provides an open base for a phone platform. Android as Google uses the term, is not an open platform.
