You may be surprised to realise that you actually don't understand the difference between AOSP and Android :-). See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47047167

I would love if there were a different OS name to designate "Android phones with Google Services snooping in the background" but with the Android Open Source Project being called what it is, I fear "Android" will continue to be understood as a word for either variant

You're vastly exaggerating that difference. It's ridiculous to say it's incorrect that GOS is not Android based.

It's not necessary to spam the comments with your personal reinterpretations of widely known project names that don't match how these names are actually being used. If you really feel the need to be wrong on the Internet at least try to not repeat yourself.
