> Look at the latest Xiaomi, Oppo and other Chinese manufacturers, Apple would love to have the hardware they are shipping right now.
This is true, but their phones don't ship with Google services out of box (at least the last time I checked). So in reality, "Google's Android" is really mostly Samsungs and Pixels.

I have an Oppo Find X9, purchased directly from them in the UK, and it came with all google services the same as my previous samsung.
They do when purchased outside China (largely EU, UK, also Singapore and others)
They don't in the EU. Not in Slovenia, so not the entire EU. I've seen it first hand. It's also not some special law that we'd have invented here so I'm pretty sure there are other EU countries where it's the same.

In Poland you can buy Vivo phones with google services out of the box just fine.
