Indeed, and I'm wondering: should there? No devices running the OS have been announced yet, let alone been released, so this article's creation seems far too premature. If more information were to come out in the future that meets the criteria for a split per WP:SIZERULE, then a separate page would of course be warranted, but for now, I think the limited information that we have on the OS can "live" on the broader Googlebook page per WP:NOPAGE.

The thing is that Aluminium OS is for both Googlebooks, Galaxybooks, Motobooks, and other OEM laptops. iOS and iPadOS got separate articles with the same OS image because they are marketed separately. Android isn't that's why their tablet and phone is in the same article. However, since Aluminium OS is a separate OS image but marketed the same as standard Android, combined with the Googlebook and Galaxybook shared base, it's worth it's own article in a different way than iOS and iPadOS. Therefore with unified marketed with standard Android unlike the other Android distros, we would remove (Aluminium OS) from marketing target and just leave laptop and desktop form factors without mentioning the distro and then this article's title should be renamed from "Aluminium OS" to "Android (desktop operating system)" as well as any links to the article on other articles once the body of the text no longer says that it's upcoming.
