There's no "openness of it all". The operating system is open. The operating system even comes with an open UI (that you'd have to compile and adapt for your device yourself, though). - Then there's somebody else who puts the operating system on a piece of hardware, does not use the open UI though but replaces it with some closed bits and pieces.

That's what you get in the end.

License-wise, that's still more open than Android for example.
