I'm not really concerned about what will happen to Android—worst case scenario at this point, the community forks it and I use the fork. I'm concerned about the precedent this sets. As long as this is the state of US law, we won't see another open platform developed in the US because these rulings together say that the only way to be sure you're not punished for anti-competitive behavior is to ensure that no one can ever define a "market" around your platform. Only a fully walled garden is safe.

Google is not being punished for being “open”. It’s being punished for pressuring OEMs and app developers into illegal contracts behind closed doors, or in other words using its monopoly position in anti competitive ways. Apple published the rules for their App Store over a decade ago and has largely stood by them so Apple is not being punished.
