Kotlin isn't the problem, missing the various Android API's is.

But a Linux distro can go like for like, like what Google did with Java right? So people wouldn't have to recreate apps, just tweak them

It's still a lot of work, for what value compared to an OS based on AOSP?

I feel like, if AOSP was going to be adopted by the Linux community, it would've happened already.

I'm not sure what "the Linux community" really means but I would bet that pure open source Android based on AOSP are more popular than the non-Android Linux mobile OS combined.
