> Pushing Google to only offer Android on their own phones is not a win for consumers.

How can you possibly know that? Traditionally, competition + standards for interoperability has been a big win for consumers.

In a world without Google-android, maybe Samsung & Huawei get together and put in the polish to make https://postmarketos.org/ into a consumer-usable system? Maybe each fork LineageOS or KaiOS but collaborate on a standard apk format so developers can easily ship on different app stores?
