    and google will be doing everything they can to grow incompatibility and make maintaining an open fork impossible. don’t forget that google employs devs for pay, but fork maintainers are doing it as a hobby, out of passion, while already working somewhere. It’s a bit similar to matrix, its homeservers and clients. the spec and the software evolves slowly, but its still too fast for alt implementations

        This requires the likes of Samsung to move with them to their then propiatary solution. Google is not going to win this just with their Pixels.

        I don’t see why samsung wouldn’t accept this change. do they make use of the AOSP project? if they do, wouldn’t they be able to make a deal with Google to have access to the code?
