both Linux operating systems have 1. A friendly user interface, 2. A hidden terminal, and 3. A locked down root user, to avoid dangerous actions!! Why do people seem to dislike Android when Ubuntu is similar to it??

No.
They have user interfaces designed for completely different use cases and input devices.
Ubuntu doesn’t really hide it’s terminal.
Ubuntu in no way has a locked down root. A simple sudo command is all you need. In a typical Android phone, is MUCH harder to get root on.
Android and Ubuntu are much more different than you realise. From the technical details to Google’s monopolistic practices. Honestly it is shorter to list what they have in common (basically the Linux kernel and a tiny selection of GNU utilities)
wait if Android has GNU utilities, does that mean it’s GNU/Linux, I read somewhere that Android is Toybox/Linux.
It has some GNU utilities. We are talking a very small selection indeed. Some might even be completely different implementations compared to the typical GNU toolbox.
We are certainly not talking entire toolchains.
