  Do you think it may be related to the monopoly issues they are currently facing?

    Quite possibly, the GrapheneOS team seems to think so:

  Yup, the entire culture of Google has nearly changed. It used to be coder- and innovation-driven, and open-source was a natural thing to support. Make more money by growing the pie, creating markets with new tech.

  Now it seems it’s middle managers and MBAs calling the shots, and their strategy is generic business zero-sum mindset - lock down, restrict, extract. They still see the PR value in open-source, but that’s it.

    Just another example of enshittification from a publicly traded company. Nothing really new here.
