Why does Google bother unlocking boot loaders, or doing anything that helps AOSP? Why have they not gone the way of Apple?

    I’m on Graphene OS and I have some problems with my banking apps and I think it will get worse over time. My device before my pixel was on micro-G but I had so many problems that I embraced Graphene os and its sandbox Google.

    I would love to take the step and cut more Google out of my life. But now I have a new car with Android Auto. And I love the concept. But now Google needs all these rights to my apps.

    And to my knowledge, there isn’t any open source alternative or reverse engineered Android Auto.
