I mean that, generally in Android headunits, Chinese manufactures tent to use better parts to build them. Just like they do with their smartphones.
Comparing an android smartphone from China, and a non one, the difference is day-night. I think that’s the case with the HU too.

I don't think your point is valid. Chinese brand Android phones also has its quirks compared to US brands.

I read somewhere that unlicensed versions of Android OS are used in the Chinese units.

Google is not allowed to install Play Store in China I think. No Chinese models of Android phones have Play store
