People choose Android because they need / want more control over their system. If Google continues to remove that control, they lose the only thing that gives their OS an edge.

Some people do, most choose it because Android phones are a lot less expensive when you buy new (outside of the flagship/newest phones).

The share of users who find this business move to be a deal-breaker is likely small enough for most manufacturers to not care.
