I think it is great to use F-Droid or Nextcloud if you want to! You can also use Debian or Arch if you want to. Why is it so bad that Ubuntu tries to innovate in their own way? It's not that there are no other linuxes to use?

The complaint was that Canonical was trying to make itself a gatekeeper, not some vague "innovate in their own way".

And Google is free to "innovate" by bringing us the Google Play Store on top of AOSP.

I will keep my distance from the proprietary walled gardens.
