Google is an untrustworthy business partner. Why should anyone invest in their projects.

Right? Why the fuck did this guy trust them with his data? This sounds like a personal problem to me.

Right, blame the customer for the business not holding up their end of the bargain after the fact.

Exactly. I have modified the deal, pray you are paying enough before I modify the deal again

Yeah, I used to love Google products, then they started killing things, and more things, and more quickly. And yeah, I'm done. Desperately hoping something other than android and IOS gets mainstream acceptance, because sure it's here now, but there's no guarantee they won't just kill it 5 years from now for some wild reason.

If Google tried to kill Android, there’d be a handful of companies that would keep it going. I could see Samsung doing so, possibility in partnership with Microsoft, but I bet it would be the end of AOSP.
