I don't care what Google does with Android as long as a viable hard (vs soft, as with GrapheneOS) fork will emerge. I am not using Google's software sources, so Google has no power there.

    If Google closes Android's source code and then breaks the way applications install, developers are going to develop their applications for the way Google has theirs set up, not the way it works currently. And therefore, you will begin losing access to applications as time goes on.

    Not the open source applications. These are the only ones I use.

    The logic is strange, why should I need Windows and its ecosystem if I already have Linux and Debian?

    That would depend on whether the open source developers are going to continue developing for what was previously Android or what is currently Android. I guess it would depend on what market they're after.

    If that's the case, then its name would have to change, because otherwise, if you search for Help Developing Android Apps, then you're going to get Google's locked down version of Android, whatever it ends up being. So, if it's Graphene OS, or Lineage OS, or whatever, it will have to be named something other than Android Open Source Project.
