There's clearly some bitterness here of "we're much less controlling than Apple, how come we're the ones in trouble?". Which is a reasonable point.

- ggm 3y agoBecause outside of the USA, android has 75% or more market share, and so their global dominance in things is at scale, bigger than Apple. And, since Apple is a single vertically integrated channel, it comes with the territory: its closed at root. Android however has diverse supply chains and does things in a way which encourages "yes but.." questions to be asked. Also, although I have some trouble saying this right, there is a legal dictum in general that somebody else being a bastard doesn't legally justify you being one too: so "but them" is legally meaningless: if Apple is bad, in due course they should be made to pay. Google is taken into law as itself, unless the law decides to bring a group into the process.
