Why would you want to run Kodi on Android when you can run it on Linux ?
Not trying to be snarky, really want to understand.

While a Raspberry Pi is a pretty simple way to get Linux/Kodi on the TV, getting it to integrate well is a whole other story. (Remotes, CEC, other services like Netflix, etc.)
I'm your typical Linux hacker of 20 years, but even I switched from Raspberry Pi to Nvidia Shield a couple years ago because the pain of using and maintaining it is so much lower for an interface that should be as simple as "pick and play".
To pick one of your examples, Netflix has its own app.
Kodi is easily the best game in town to consume self-hosted media. Or, at least navigate it.
Likewise with remotes, they work as well, if not better, on the Pi (you can even solder an IR receiver or emitter if you want).
Of course, Netflix is another story, but that's because of DRM, and I decided long ago I wouldn't use any service with DRM.
