You mean the brands that literally do this already? Pretty bad article

Google is kind of being invasive. Kind but kind of.

Harmony Os will probably end up taking over realistically just due to everything going on in the world.

Harmony Os will probably end up taking over realistically just due to everything going on in the world.

For Huawei but their competitors have no interest in that. Just look at the degoogled Android phones for the domestic Chinese market: Everyone ships their own app store and replacement APIs for PlayServices (not compatible to Google's). So app developers need to target each vendor's flavor of Android individually. It's insane.

The logical way would be to create a joint venture for a common app store and PlayStore replacements but they don't. Maybe this story is about exactly that but it should tell you that Xiaomi and the others have no interest in being controlled by a 3rd party.
