Google should lose control of Android. Maybe then we'll keep the ability to install any app we want.
You think other companies would provide sideloading like samsung, and oneplus? They would lock the OS hard and make it difficult to even unlock. Making android more closed than before.
I highly doubt AOSP can't mantain itself, and that manufacturers could build from it and do whatever.
It'd probably take some sort of Linux Foundation style arrangement with manufacturers supporting a neutral team built from Google's Android division.
