I know that Linux is at the kernel, but Android is a LOT more than the kernel. I have zero trust in Google and Facebook to not use my own device/software against me. I don't know

I am not sure at what point they modified it for their purposeless.

Neither do I, and I am not taking any chances because it is Google.

I disabled the built-in FB app on my Adroid devices, which is as far as I think I can go in thwarting FB from uploading info on all my contacts, but I have no idea if it actually helps.

I wonder why Google insists on preventing Adroid users from uninstalling the FB app.

Every company is going to use your data against you. Its simply too enticing and valuable not too.
