The question wasn’t how to switch OSs without losing current capabilities

This is exactly the question. The article is about Google taking away software freedom, forcing developers to dox themselves, and forcing users to only install software from Google's approved list.

Apple is already there. How would that help anyone?

    At the very least, the threat of losing a large number of users may cause Google to reverse their decision.

    There seems to be a lot of “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” energy in this thread.
