And how in the past companies was making money from producing phones in times of Nokia in 2008-2009 when there no good internet and no ability to spy on user
I talked about continuing to make money , after they sell the device. It's usually just more profitable for a company to not respect their users.
Most companies, if not all, can probably sustain one time payments, but investors prefer growth.
I wonder whether mobile device manufacturers get a cut from Google's spyware revenue.
