  How about not letting Google have exclusive rights to the drivers for all the phone hardware?

  What exactly do you mean by that? Google is one of the few companies that let you easily unlock their phones so you can do whatever you want with them.

      No, unlock as in: You can install whatever operating system you want. No need for “jailbreaking” on Google phones. They officially support unlocking the bootloader (and re-locking it later as well!). There are many things not to like about Google, but how they handle their phones when it comes to openness is certainly not one of them. Pretty much all other phone vendors are much worse than that (except for maybe a few small ones like Fairphone).
