Great, but as I understand it, vendors are under no obligation to
actually ship that code on their devices.

If a vendor needs to have an iw that, for example, supports their own
vendor commands (which, as I understand from the wifihal etc., Google
is basically forcing vendors to have!), then the AOSP iw is useless and
an own version needs to be built.
