The problem with "Android is more open" is that "Android" is increasingly a bit like London. There's a huge sprawling millions-of-people place that gets referred to as "London", but none of it is actually the city named "London". The city, legally, speaking, is about half a square meter of a broom closet somewhere. Similarly, the thing that is actually "Android" and which is alleged to be "open" is an increasingly tiny fraction of the thing referred to as "Android".
