Android was a sink for people who want things like this and an excuse for people to rationalize Apple doing it. If Android is "good enough" then who needs some actual Linux phone? If Android is open and that's what you want then why don't people just buy one of those instead of having the government break up Apple and Google?

People become willing to do things when you throw them out in the cold that they wouldn't do when you were still supplying the bread and circuses, and those people they don't like? It's because they're stubborn and they actually care and they know how to build things, isn't it?
