Not sure how I should feel about this, if I should support the cause to keep android “open” (when it’s everything but), or if I should be happy that this piece of shit OS finally shows it’s true colours and people (including me) will finally be forced to find an alternative or stop using this trashware all together.

Until Linux Phones get good, we are seeing a very rough sail ahead. Or just hard fork Android ig if it’s a logical option.

I understand, but there’s a good argument that Android is the reason why GNU/Linux phones don’t get good.
The death of Android as an “open” platform would put some pressure to actual develop an alternative.

It won’t die. My country alone will have almost a billion Android users and those cheap Androids are all they can afford and know.

I meant that it would die as an “open” platform, so power users would be compelled to stop using android.
