Actually, most of the kernel development these days is funded. The
planning, design, development, review and rework are done openly. All
teh technical work is open and transparent, that's all.

Android, of a thousand of funded projects, has been mismanaged from
the PoV of the kernel upstream. Sure. But the correlation you are
trying to make is not there. The evidence is overwhelmingly on the
other side.
