The beating heart of Android is the [Android Open Source Project](https://source.android.com) (AOSP). AOSP is essentially a complete, open-source mobile OS on its own. Android was designed from the beginning to be used by lots of different companies for each of their own mobile phone offerings, so the open nature is useful toward that goal.
However, AOSP is only a bare-bones operating system. OEMs are expected to add their own proprietary components to make their own, custom user experience. This is why most Android phones you buy are full of proprietary software like Facebook and other OEM software; companies that sell Android phones mainly use AOSP as a secure base to then run on their phones with proprietary drivers and their own custom Android. While the openness of AOSP is great, the OEMs making the phones ultimately ruin it.
However, AOSP is only a bare-bones OS. OEMs are expected to add their own proprietary components to make a custom user experience specific to their brand. This is why most Android phones you buy are pre-installed with proprietary software like Facebook and other OEM software. Companies that sell Android phones mainly use AOSP as a secure base to then run on their phones with proprietary drivers and a custom Android OS. While the openness of AOSP is great, the OEMs producing the phones ultimately ruin it.
Because AOSP is open source though, non-OEM third parties such as [GrapheneOS](https://grapheneos.org) have made their own fully open-source Android OS. Unlike stock Android operating systems, GrapheneOS supports [reproducible builds](https://grapheneos.org/build#reproducible-builds).
