This development clearly shows the direction of Android development officially chosen by Google. It doesn't matter when it happened or where. It's just another checkpoint on the way to not owning your device that knows everything about you and has access to practically all your secrets. People saying "Android is still better than Apple" will not be right for long. This "competitor" offers a rare opportunity to support the escape path from the dystopia using free software.
