Doesn’t it seem strange that they needed to hire “industry experts” 10 years into Android’s existence instead of thinking in these terms from day one?

Not to defend a giant corporate entity, but can you think of any major operating system that prevents its users from giving away their information to programs they voluntarily install?

Google's goal isn't to prevent themselves from getting your info, but to prevent random 3rd parties from tricking you out of it. That would seem like a high bar to set a decade ago.
