I don't know if you remember the days where each phone had it own OS. It sucked, and beside playing snake there wasn't much you could do with it.
you got to take things in context, the current market for mobile OSes is a duopoly shared between apple and Google, there were two cases against each of them, but the outcome for each one them was different.
One verdict was that apple get to stay the dictator in its fiefdom and the other, more open platform got punished for trying to do the exact same thing.
What every company will take away from this is that, they either got to go full throttle on the control or no throttle at all.
Guess which side the companies like when given an ultimatum between theses 2 choices?
Is it possible for someone to make a better store than Google ? sure, I don't think any one is arguing that.
This will only lead to more fragmentation and a loss for incentive to improve the platform, guess it may join the graveyard in 10 years?
