  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.

        I hope that but power users don’t dictate the technological development 🥲. Everything is made for people who want it “user-friendly”.
