> Open source loses this war because proprietary devices are streamlined.

"Open source" didn't loose because it didn't fight anything. It was exactly "Open source" that enabled Google to dominate the smartphone landscape.

FSF and many other have been warning us for decades that Android been open source didn't matter because firmware, play store and many other components of Android were proprietary.

People gave a shit to them and now do you want to blame them for the results?

The diversity of projects were not and are not the problem. The problem is people that do nothing and only criticize.
