I don't get the motivation behind this RedHatification. Hasn't Google already won in the Android space ? Nobody that matters is forking or using AOSP without Google's blessings anyway due to the stranglehold of Google Play Services. Why the sudden dick move ? I see some mention of the impending antitrust cases, but I don't quite see how that fits.

What about Amazon's tablets?

  • Or every Android phone sold in China

    • But that's China. Google isn't playing in that sandbox at all. And all this is old news. Fire tablets have existed for more than a decade, Huawei phones w/o Play for more than half a decade.
