This is an absurd spin. Huawei and teg Chinese leadership more broadly knew what they were getting themselves into by using Google tech on their flagship phones. They decided it was worth it, until the US cut them off. They could have started work on this new OS at any point before that, or at any point in the future while also selling Android smartphones. Having one less option is never a boon.
