Ah yes, the most popular mobile operating system in the world is “on life support.”

iOS must not even exist anymore because it’s closed source. I can feel my iPhone disintegrating before my eyes.

Look-but-don’t-touch source, except for how there are multiple successful alternative builds like /e/os, LineageOS, and GrapheneOS

The second largest country in the whole world gets by using Android without Google Play services even being available there, with Android commanding a 77 percent marketshare.

Sure, I fully agree that Google isn’t super enthusiastic about open source for Android beyond the ways in which it benefits them, but there’s a lot of hyperbole in your comment.
