I don&#x27;t think Google will ever try to make money directly off of licensing Android or selling phones. It&#x27;s far more likely they&#x27;ll continue to leverage it to bring users to their services.<p>I think the point where Google and consumers are misaligned would be their preference of Chrome OS over Android. Still, I don&#x27;t see them throwing away their market power in a play to move users to Chrome OS. They&#x27;ll just keep mixing them both together until there is no difference.
