Yeah, but that’s what Android is for. I have absolutely no faith that developers won’t pick the easiest, cheapest, least restrictive distribution channel available. And I have every inclination they will sacrifice every user desire for privacy and integrity to get there.

Do you actually think that’s a reasonable comparison? GNU Linux is not a consumer operating system used by billions of people on their phones.
