That is - at best - an extraordinary exaggeration.  The number of people 
who choose Linux /because/ they don't want to do the same as most people 
(use Windows) is tiny.

There is the argument that one of the many reasons why Linux is (in 
general) more secure than Windows is that there are fewer users of 
Linux, but even that is a minor issue.

The kernel and base system are all Linux.  The gui and many higher-level 
features are Android specific.

It's the gui and user interface that causes this, and that is 
Android-specific.  Much of it is written in Java, and runs on a JVM.
