That is a disappointment. Given Android's start as an offshoot of
linux, you would think it would be more straightforward.
Yup. But the GUI API is distinct. It's Java, but it's
read-another-goddamn'd-book Java.
This would
also enable (I think) LyX to run on netbooks, since AFAIK they are
Android machines
While I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there were some netbooks
to which only Android had been ported, I'm replying to you on a
netbook that originally came with Windows 7 and on which I installed
Linux. Somewhere I have a flash drive from which I can boot Android on
this box.

Physical keyboards that make Bluetooth connections with Android
devices have been available for a while. I like that which I got from
Logitech.
I do believe TeX is available in some form.
VerbTeX Pro is an Android LaTeX editor, and can use an online server
to generate a .PDF. Other tools of potential interest are QuickTeX
and Detexify.
