If we judge Android on its own, yes, it can be incredibly safe and secure for its open source abilities. But that conventionally ignores everything else. Google pushes Android forward, Google creates the SDKs, Google creates the IDEs, Google creates all the non-phone variants of the OS. Android isn’t on GitHub, it’s on Google’s servers. “Biggest contributor” is an understatement.
Is this about how private and secure the actual usage of the actual OS is, or what?
I’ve given up trying to discuss this topic that’s already been downvoted to oblivion, anyway. But, if you’re curious, I was trying to get the point that Android is pretty useless without the whole Infrastructure Google built, but they kept making it about ASOP. As if the average Joe even knows what that is.

Apple’s whole marketing campaign is literally about privacy.

Don’t put words in my mouth, and drop it already. This argument has gone on long enough. It is inconsequential and pointless. No one is settling or agreeing to fucking anything.
