I disagree with "there's really no reason". The reason is so that app developers can easily recompile existing apps for their platform with some minimal changes. If their system is completely incompatible, then it's probably a much bigger effort to build apps from scratch and many companies might not do it.
- horsawlarway 2y agoThis is my take as well. I see this as likely in the same vein as Google copying the Java APIs. The similarity is important because of the compatibility it brings. So there's very much still an incentive to care about what Android does, and what API interfaces it exposes (at least in the transitional period). Whether that will still be true a decade or two from now is a different question.
