Google doesn't care. What are you gonna do? Not like the average consumer has any real choice.

We're going to fund our own open mobile phone platform with the billions of dollars it needs to work globally and with all OEMs and Telecoms providers around the world and offer a developer program supported indefinitely from volunteers...

Oh wait, no we're not 😅.

It’s been nearly 20 years since Google revealed Android

Right off the bat it's incorrect.

To hell with American technology platforms!

That's not to say there aren't (or can't be) issues with platforms from other countries, but with platforms from US domiciled business entities you are unfortunately guaranteed to end up in a oligarchic quagmire with a giant serving of commitment to dishonesty, crime and corruption.

Even Mozilla became corrupted by US business types.

confused as to why you say this because the first source got published in 2007, and AOSP 1.0 was 2008, which is 18 and 19 years ago?...

They revealed it I guess, but they didn't make it. They bought it off a startup.
