    It’s google’s platform, there’s nothing to give them. They have shown for the last 2 decades they take decisions based on money and whiny powerusers and tech reviewers are not their main concern. Downvote all you want, obviously it’s not what people want to hear, but it’s the reality.

      Yeah the only thing we can do in this relationship is NOT give them our business. Which I, ironically, say as a Google pixel owner.

      It’s their restaurant they get to make their food however they want and if we don’t like it we just don’t eat there.

      Personally I’m looking to change os but when it comes time to replace my phone I’ll be buying European or Asian. If I can rid myself of American businesses in my life, I’ll feel much better.

        Yep, I agree. However, the only other viable option is even worse. When I was younger I had time to play with Linux phones, I even dailyed two of them for over a year each. Nowadays I just don’t care that much.
