But how does this tie back to your original statement about GOS security and tying itself with Google? The issues you're raising aren't even a GOS specific one. I also find it strange to not call it secure because services themselves are reliant on Google's services. That is not an issue any OS can solve. I say this as someone who does not rely on any Google services on my phone. I also believe you might be conflating security with privacy.
The issues are not GOS specific. I am saying that GOS is selling snake oil, not real security.
