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!! I'm not a troll, but Ubuntu uses sudo commands instead of root. And using root is not encouraged… I'm sorry!!
Sudo is root. It executes commands as the root user on every linux distro.
yes I know, I'm sorry. I love both Android and Ubuntu!! And you can get sudo in Android, but it can void the warranty of your phone.
You can potentially get sudo on Android, but the ability to do so largely depends on the device. I guess there may be some devices which run on Linux and lock the user out from installing their own version or accessing super-user, but that's a lot less common.
I would say that Android is not Linux, but it is based on Linux. The ACK is a based on the core Linux kernel, but with additions that aren't found in mainline and a fairly different userspace and lack of a GNU C library. They're more like cousins than siblings at this point.
