Exactly, if aosp is like mer but with gui, than jolla is like Google but less(missing gui), so to use 100% Foss part of jolla on your phone you'll need to write huge part of OS (UI), while with AOSP you can use it on phone outdated or not.
Basically Google at first used opensource so others can help them promote and develop mobile OS, but after getting to top, they locked out most important parts, while Jolla mostly did it on start only promising open sourcing parts and making it right what others companies don't, but after all they go same way
