To be a little pedantic, that's not exactly what he meant. I only say this because his true vision is a lot more beautiful than that.
He wants to reduce the barrier to entry for tech and empower anyone with the drive to build not be limited by their resources. This is particularly why he focuses on Android smartphones because they're the most popular in the developing world. Also since smartphones are full fledged computers with touchscreens as their primary input method it's the perfect tool for this.
Furthermore, his baseline for this is any such device should have the tools necessary to build a working version of Linux from start to finish on itself. Which is why he's built toy box; it should, by the end of it, have all the tools necessary to building a working build of Linux with a single binary.
