> This fine is an assault on open source

I don't see how telling Google not to force itself as the default preinstalled option on phones is an "assault on open source".

> the fact the linux didn't attaint mainstream appeal on the desktop was largely due to the lack of condition and harmonization across distros

Not sure what "condition and harmonization is", but if you mean the poor UI for normal people, then yes. I don't see the relevance of this to Google forcing itself onto people's phones.

> and the EU wants to doom android to the same fate.

It was literally a few days ago when I was wondering to myself how people were cool with Google search etc. coming preinstalled. I had no idea the EU was looking into this. As a result I don't have any reason to believe their goal is anything but fair competition.
