Are those not exactly correct, then? What's unfair about it?
It's correct, but it's not unique to AOSP. You are to just replacing Google with a few BDFLs and cliques who will define the direction the OS will go in. Google has done a good job steering Android and has made it very successful, so I personally trust Google's direction over for example the GNOME developers.
