    Nothing anti-trust about genuine un-rooted and un-modified devices having secure access to the play store.
    It’s when you lock out phones that come from Huawei/Oppo etc. because they are Chinese, that you might be able to make a point.

      Google using market power to push “trust” technology bound to their Play Services (which is one of the requirements for their “Android” certificate).

      It absolutely is, forcing people to use one OS on their device is insane. Fuck Google, they can take my GraphineOS Pixel 9 from my cold dead hands.

      It is when the play store is not the only store allowed on devices. Their play services, with this change, are again acting as a monopoly, and again will be again be sued by the eu for violating anti trust laws.
