Because one walled garden does not exist yet. Because it's possible to get around the proposed walled garden. Because there are android manufacturers that ship phones that are not going to be affected by this.
But no lets just promote the whole iOS and Android are 100% the same (not Apple and Google, those are the same) and give up on fighting those changes.
I’m all for supporting an alternative, however it’s done.
But between the google walled garden and the apple one, I slightly prefer the apple one for having marginally better privacy.
Though as a dev with dev accounts for both, I already can run whatever the hell I want on my own devices, so i admit to having no real skin in that game.
There are android phones outside Google's garden that will remain outside it's walls. Apple's walled garden vs Google's future wall garden is a false dilemma.
Agreed
