Yes agreed, if we are talking about more than just search. The Apple payment was about Search, but the Samsung payment is about more so really they are kind of apples/oranges (no pun intended!). They could and should absolutely be putting more into Android. Android has historically been about choice, but it's more and more becoming a clone of iOS. I recently had a need to record phone calls, something I did with ease ten years ago when I was battling with car insurance people, and it is damn near impossible now in 2023. Root in general is a pain in the ass. If I was terrified of the possibility of poweruser options, and wanted to be locked down and led by the nose to use my device in the exact way prescribed by the overlords, I'd be using iOS! I'm guessing they consider the market pretty saturated and aren't very motivated. Some good old fashioned competition would do wonders.
