My understanding is that if you only add modules on top, those can stay closed source. It's possible the AOSP portion of the stack is still stock and untouched.
I don't know, one of the reasons they're decrying everyone running the APK is they claim they've made a bunch of "bespoke alterations" to the AOSP version they're using
Which may or may not be BS intended to save their reputation. I hear you though.
