So, AOSP team can obviously create Rust framework ontop of Skia(or tinyskia,femtovg,etc.), make Android APIs available in Rust, Create proper widget framework and let us create Android Applications written entirely in Rust.

I know what I am talking about. This is exactly the freedom that I was talking about. I am able to choose any framework/toolkit I want. If i don't want any framework, that's fine too. You don't have that freedom in Android. Everything has to be routed via Java ecosystem that AOSP constructed.
