<p><pre><code>  &gt; Google is in the phone business so why shouldn&#x27;t they
  &gt; provide this when it is essentially the same cost on
  &gt; the market.

I shall politely observe that I believe you have managed to squeeze two false premises into one sentence.<p>I own a &#x27;google phone&#x27;, and it has &#x27;LG&#x27; carved into the back.  Yes, a couple of years old now, but wikipedia[1] will advise that:  &quot;In 2011, 96% of Google&#x27;s revenue was derived from its advertising programs.&quot;   Maybe the &#x27;phone business&#x27; has improved markedly for them in recent times, but I suspect not.<p>The other is &#x27;same cost&#x27; -- it most certainly is not.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Google#Advertising" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Google#Advertising</a>
