It’s weird to see someone valiantly defending them, especially given their ad-driven surveillance business model. Google removed "Don’t be evil" from their code of conduct in 2018 lol. If so I’d expect you to be better educated about their history of "thinking about whether their software is soft and squishy" (lol) like the 2018 data exposure that affected 52 million users.

Do you have any idea what you're talking about? https://gs.statcounter.com/vendor-market-share/mobile ^ Google is the lowest one on that list.
