being successful will always bring hate
this is so annoying. i feel like everyone wants to sue Google left and right not realizing that their practices are not only understandable, but exactly what anyone else would do if they had built a company like this from the ground up. like come on, the sideloading thing?? that's literally a security feature. and opening their API to Android forks? why should they? you fork Android you can make your own API and your own apps, like Samsung literally does. i would probably do the same thing if i had a choice.
on top of that, Google has some of the best engineers in the world working there. some ex Microsoft, some ex Apple, facebook, amazon, you name it. their products are high quality, give or take some buggy apps here and there.
people just can't be grateful. most companies aren't pushing out software of Google's quality, and because of that, these laws would essentially introduce a lot more bad software and maybe even malware to the platform. prices may be lower, but quality would suffer. we'd be back to the early days of Android.
