@nixCraft@mastodon.social Thinking of a startup myself, I realized some closedness seemed like an immediate solution for sustainable monetization sometimes. It's almost a personal conviction to pursue total openness while looking for somewhat of a future guarantee.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social There would be recourse if it had a copyleft license. You have to rely on goodwill with permissive licenses. They got what they wanted from the system, and don't need you anymore.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social there are also plenty of APIs implemented in Google Play Services so apps break on degoogled phones

@nixCraft@mastodon.social They think this will make consumers trust Google more. What it actually does is give the whole #Android ecosystem a bad reputation. People who were #deGoogle -ing because of spying are not suddenly going to go back to Google because they perceive "better security". Clearly Google thinks this and they are ridiculous for it.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social They must've realised that nowadays everyone depends on either Android or iOS & since Apple won't be opening their ecosystem anytime soon & Linux phones are nowhere near daily-drivable, Google might aswell close theirs down to exert more control over its community
