Android is shaped by Google solely for Google's own monetary gain, just as Windows is by Microsoft. Having to fall back to claiming Android as a win, failing to recognize that it's the same collar with the leash held by a different hand, underscores my point.

Microsoft of course is also a major player in Linux (via Azure). As is Amazon. Their companies depend on it.

It's no longer a bazzar where random university lecturers write and run entire subsystems between classes, but it is at least multiple companies contributing.
