what's the point of presuming of something with zero experince?
They are not alike. Except that all of them have some kind of store(s). Adroid doesn't have repos and you can't update just one component/package via terminal. At least not as easy as you do it on sailfish. If that is the most attractive component of the OS than Sailfish is 35875284x more like desktop than any other mobile OS.
