For the average person, including buying apps, this simply isn't a reality.

And Google will now be throwing up massive "OMG! You're going to install an app that isn't from the Play Store?!" warnings to anyone that tries, including requiring some degree of technical skill to do so.

You can nitpick this, but the truth is my comments are about the average user, and from that perspective, factually accurate.

The AOSP exists. You're just wrong, regardless of what arbitrary goalpost the average person considers accessible.

    From my post:

    An Apple account, or a Google account is required to use an iphone or pixel in its default config, and all the features it entails.

    Are you suggesting Google is selling Pixels with pure AOSP? Context counts.
