van141, you have valid points. I think in general people move to pure Linux for one of a few reasons:
1. Better performance (Linux footprint smaller than Android, which also runs some Linux kernel btw)
2. Boot straight into Kodi w/ no other options (e.g. dedicated device)
3. Ability to administer with classic Linux tools (I scripted the transfer of files over the network with FTP)
4. In the vain of #3, this makes true backups (better than XBMC Backup app) easy. Same thing with viewing logs, etc.
5. People like putting Linux on everything
