Don't confuse Android with AOSP, and don't think AOSP is even remotely up to date or usable without having to add anything to it.

How do you edit your Android lockscreen? How do you use a different UI in Android? How do you even do anything in Android without having to resort to security holes to install superuser?
If you complain about one thing being **** in comparison with something else, at least first make sure that other thing isn't just as ****, if not more.
Lol, superuser? There droid with root out of box, as far as i know you can at least flash some devices, and yes you can get source - https://github.com/CyanogenMod
And again no one forced jolla to talk about OSS or being OSS if they are not. You can compare with what you want, but as they used fake promises for PR, and we can get/have root on many android devices out-of-box/with few clicks. So just giving root with phone with sudden reboots and network failures don't make it more open
