Neither Wine nor Proton run on Windows. Building Android emulators for Linux: Worth your time. Building Android knockoffs which claim to remove the Google from Google's operating system? Foolishness.

Valve is working on supporting apks for their new VR operating system. If this goes anything like Proton then I'm hopeful for the future of Android without Google.

    Gamedevs would still target Android, just like they target Windows, letting Valve run after them.

    Android is even more of tragedy, given how all relevant NDK game development APIs are also available on GNU/Linux.

Reimplementing Windows was a huge task. If the windows source code was available, why wouldn't you begin with a copy-paste?
