    Google literally holds all the cards and has what, only Europe to worry about in terms of regulatory backlash.

    Gosh I hope the non-Android fork open source OSs get some money from phone makers because they will definitely have a market when a few other options become truly viable.

      You can write the EU to urge them to act. They are monitoring the situation. That we have to say pretty please to a huge soulless corporation based in a hostile, fascist nation to not take our freedom away is so fucked up.

          Yeah that would be ideal but you know manufacturers they want a company attached to it just like how Linux distros are right there but it took steam deck for them to show interest.
