Seems very shortsighted for Google to move away from hardware, might seem smart to cut costs and stop bothering today but it'll seem an extremely poor choice when they find themselves in Microsoft's OS position down the line. Systems are only going to get more and more locked down, Google will be struggling to make enough money on iOS in 10 years when it gets even more restricted and 30% cut of ad sales will be the norm. Current Android OEMs are gonna throw more and more custom stuff on top and begin to deviate to systems they fully control.
