The more likely scenario is Samsung and others running on their own, in that case. They already have their own store, and crap clones of many Gapps.
Google has suggested that they were leaning in that direction in the past, and the response was not encouraging. Think about how many manufacturers don't ever release updates. The software is seen as a neccesary evil, not as part of the marketing equation.

Consider the usual suite of apps that need SafetyNet to work (Snapchat, Netflix, Pokemon Go, Super Mario Run, McDonald's, etc.), then throw in a few more that need Google Play Services for some reason, and don't even work with microG (Hyundai BlueLink, EnelX JuicePass, Lime, PayPal, Roblox, etc.), and there'd be a lot of unhappy customers who want to use those apps but can't.
- shakna 4y agoYes... But these companies are still unlikely to give a damn. Software is an expense. It isn't seen as a value add, which is also why you won't see software in any of their advertising.
- maxloh 4y agoIf the ecosystem is large enough, app developers will be motivated to support Samsung's counterparts of SafetyNet.
