    You mean, like the business model that Android has been using for years?

    Or Windows / Linux have been using for decades?

    What a weird thing to paint in a bad light.

      Android is an ecosystem made up of OEMs under the lead of Google, and all these OEMs have different business models. Google’s however, is an ad-based monopoly. Totally different business model. You referring to Android as a single entity shows how clueless you are about this topic.

      Mobile is a different environment compared to desktop, so you’re comparing Apples to oranges.
