I agree it's better than nothing (iOS), but it's correct what OP wrote: important parts of Android are now as closed source as iOS.

- sudosysgen 6y agoTrue, but these important parts largely have open source interpretations. There's no real reason for GMS to be more Android than microG.
- brnt 6y agoBut it means a group of volunteers (which fortunately exists, I depend on them for my phones) needs to keep tracking and duplicating an ever expanding component of Android, without have any say in the direction of its development. It's getting to be more Wine than Windows at this point. It's problematic at minimum.
- sudosysgen 6y agoThat is true.
