I believe the kernel to be a layer between userspace and hardware. What
business is it to the kernel if it runs whatever android
uses as init process or /bin/bash, sys-v-init or systemd?

There is this thing called choice.

I don't think this is a valid concern. Just because current linux/gnu
systems don't implement the userspace part of this interface doesn't
mean it is useless or broken.
