What exactly are they going to do? Support GNU/Linux?
If Google goes proprietary with AOSP? They could fork AOSP, or go with their own proprietary system (like Huawei is successfully doing).
Linux distros (including non-GNU/Linux distros, e.g. busybox/Linux distros) are way behind for smartphones. I don't think they would switch to that.
Are you saying that developing their own system is easier than using existing one that needs some tinkering?
