I don't think Google will ever try to make money directly off of licensing Android or selling phones. It's far more likely they'll continue to leverage it to bring users to their services. I think the point where Google and consumers are misaligned would be their preference of Chrome OS over Android. Still, I don't see them throwing away their market power in a play to move users to Chrome OS. They'll just keep mixing them both together until there is no difference.
