I doubt that. Kicking the Rom builders out of the Android Eco-System would probably cause the rise of a new mobile OS. So as long as Google doesn't want to end its monopoly they won't do that.

No it wouldn't. You're seriously underestimating the resources and money it would take to even attempt that. Google has an army of Android developers working on all aspects of the OS from design, security, tooling, architecture, infrastructure, features, bug fixes, etc. Others have tried and spectacularly failed because it's hard. Besides, you'll never have the developer support.

  Maybe a smaller army would be a good thing, at least in terms of API stability.
