"Fragmentation is not a problem because Google still is the primary Android services provider."
Doesn't the article point out that some of the bigger companies using Android, like Amazon and (in the linked article about TVs) Lenovo, are doing their own versions of Android that use none of Google's services? So Google is left high and dry - the other companies have taken the Android code but given Google nothing in return. This is how I understood the claim that Google has lost control of Android.
