What's factually incorrect? It's not open source if they don't release the code (no matter how bad it might be).

It's incorrect because he said "From Honeycomb onwards...". It is not an ongoing change in policy, but a one-time exception that was made specifically in the case of Honeycomb because Honeycomb was not really ready for distribution. Ice Cream Sandwich (i.e., Honeycomb+1) will be open like Froyo and its predecessors.
That's factually incorrect and sounds like flamebait. They've stated that they're going to begin releasing the code again with Ice Cream Sandwich and not wanting to release bad code that was forced by a deadline isn't totally unreasonable.
the market is more of an Apple app store.
It's always been moderated. As has already been mentioned in another response the big difference is that on Android you can install apps from a different app store.
