I don’t think it’s ironic. Google benefits massively from their projects like AOSP or OpenTitan being open source, and they even benefit from projects like GOS doing some heavy lifting for them in developing bug fixes that get integrated upstream.
The fact that their mobile phones are relatively friendly to alternate operating systems is of pretty significant benefit to them.
Google is invested in security research, albeit usually for reasons that don’t benefit users.
Google is a tech giant, which abuses peoples privacy with every click
Their phones enable users to (at least partially) escape that bs
that’s what I found to be ironic
