Without complete vertical integration this is what makes me wonder about fracturing of software ecosystems each time a new SOC is released. If Google can't avoid it how can Microsoft and other platforms sidestep it as well besides throwing tremendous amounts of resources. No matter what the developer will have to consistently update for these changes for their software to be compatible correct? This is one of the reasons why x86 is still a great platform for backwards compatibility.
