Pretty dismal communication from @cramforce.
Seemed like a political response to the questions raised, and I don't think "making the web competitive to native apps and walled gardens" is the real goal (err, Google happens to control the world's biggest mobile platform and it's app ecosystem)
I think Google have just realised that if they create an obviously closed platform, a la Apple, everyone will resist it and it will fail or be supplanted by a more open one.
What gave Android power? The thousands of other companies that jumped aboard. And Google won all the spoils. Billions of devices running Android, with Google search by default.
Make it "open", but control it. Win.
