> Abandoning Android for Linux is not viable for software developers who need to eat.
We'll finally get our ecosystem diversity back when the next geopolitical happening happens and Google bans Chinese android apps on bullshit pretexts.
Wait a few years more.
I'd rather like to see AOSP development spun off to a separate non-profit entity. Either by Google doing it or by a hard fork (which will need a lot of funding). Traditional Linux misses the polish and especially the security layering to be a good phone OS. Better to start from an already good base that works.
Why would that affect anything? The Chinese Android ecosystem is already split from the Google one.

The Chinese will eventually find it easier to sell their Chinese ecosystem devices to the world instead of catering to Google and American three-letter agencies.
