Definitely not. It can still theoretically be forked if it gets bad enough and the right people get motivated enough. No reason to jump from the frying pan into the fire.

What can be forked? Android isn't blocking anything, Play Store and Total Commander are closed source.

The entire android ecosystem. F-droid is free and works. You're way less free using iOS which you have 0 control over vs. Android which things can be rebuilt on. iOS could disappear tomorrow forever and there's not a single thing you could do about it.
