Google’s Android, the world’s most widely used mobile operating system, started life as open-source software. In its quest for ever-greater profits, the tech giant has been gradually eroding Android’s open-source nature over the last decade.

      I can’t tell what this is a dig about. Less Apps available? Less required maintenance time? Less Notification spam? Or?

      But I’m all for it.

        I can offer an answer as a former lover of android (12 years)…

        I used to do all of the phone modding/flashing roms etc. it was like I could never be just satisfied with my phone. After years of this, I got tired of the nagging in my head to improve it. So, I switched to Apple, and it just works and I don’t feel as though I’m missing out on anything.

        So, yes I don’t have to be on my phone all of them time other than when I actually need it.
