The Huawei Disaster Reveals Google’s Iron Grip on Android
Google invested Billions into Android.Samsung tried to hedge for this by building Tizen(Bada) and realized how much needed to be invested to get an Android competitor going, so they kept the development going, but focused for their Smartwatches, as this would have to be a "if the worst happens" plan, not something that could be a profitable venture.LG has the Palm/HP borne WebOS for their TVs, i suspect with a similar idea at the back of their minds.Everyone else? They're too small to realistically try to save their smartphone businesses when the green robot becomes their enemy.Google bought this platform with every dollar invested over more than a decade, they didn't do this only so that Apple had a competitor, but so that THEY had control over mobile eyeballs.
