Humanity requires a safe mobile OS and Android was it for so very long. Hopefully, the Google accountants / shareholders work out the significant potential losses if they drive the evolution of an industry of new OS and new hardware options. Suspect that they will push their monopolist beast as far as they can get away with. They'll have a dollar cost that they are willing to risk in the coming debates.
