When you start building an OS with "Open" in your motto be it OSS or just open software development and then go back on your promise you lose the deep developer trust which is the bedrock of your success.
It's sad to see what is happening with Android.

Glad to be a featured speaker at @droidconIN @droidcon along with a bunch of excolleagues & friends.
I have invested so much in Google devices and Android over the years only to be greeted by this.
Such a loss of developer trust. If you don't want to release the binaries for Pixels then provide a reference developer device like the Nexus!
We're seeing some speculation that AOSP is being discontinued. To be clear, AOSP is NOT going away. AOSP was built on the foundation of being an open platform for device implementations, SoC vendors, and instruction set architectures.
AOSP needs a reference target that is flexible, configurable, and affordable – independent of any particular hardware, including those from Google. For years, developers have been building Cuttlefish (available on GitHub as the reference device for AOSP) and GSI targets from source. We continue to make those available for testing and development purposes.
Finally someone said it. Google Sans / Product Sans looks so consistent on the Pixel. I wish they would let us all use it like Apple does🤞🏼
Google really needs to open up the use of Google Sans at least in Android apps. @kageman pointed me this out to me and now I can't unthink it.
Immediately apps like WhatsApp on Android would look modern and less dated.
