Why this is exciting:

If Google takes the foot off the pedal on mobile, it will leave a gap in the smartphone market wide enough to drive a truck through.

A group of smart folks who worked on Pixel & Android can take voluntary redundancy together and start a company with the tech and their experience.

What a wonderful world that’d be - to be able to buy SOTA devices made by a company that doesn’t also make tracking software that tracks you all over the Internet, and that doesn’t want to show you ads. A company that just wants to sell you a product that you buy with your money.

This is what anti-monopoly regulation is for - we all just forgot during the recent period of lax enforcement.
