    They're still subject to the same dumbassery Google is trying to pull. Any OS that doesn't conform to Google Play standards is a target.

    Watch Motorola sue Google for this.

    And then Google retaliates by not allowing Motorola to include Google Play on any of their devices. In the end, Motorola just cancels their GrapheneOS partnership.

    Monopolies are the number one reason everything sucks, and will continue to suck until we get non-corrupt politicians (which is impossible)

    Motorola has two options:

    A. Cancel the GOS partnership and cause a boycott on ThinkPads (don't forget, Lenovo owns Motorola).

    B. Put their feet in the ground, die a hero and maybe bring Google down.

    That's probably a reason they're doing this now. To stifle what might start to be a sizable amount of pushback. Sizable is still single digits but if it hits a whole % instead of >1 then we might start getting somewhere
