Sure, but I'm talking about simply having the capability. If Google started getting ridiculous, regularly censoring apps, deleting data off people's phones, stuff like that, I can easily believe that there'd be a push to make installing an alternative ROM or OS a simple thing to do. Regardless, the option is there. I think there's a ton of value in that, even if the vast majority of users don't avail themselves of it.

With iOS, you live with what Apple lets you do, and that's that.
