Yep, Google completely ignored why platforms like the PC beat the Macintosh to begin with

Isn’t Android the same Pyrrhic victory that Windows was for PC Makers? All of the market share but none of the profit? No PC maker is making any real money selling PCs just like no Android manufactures are making real money.

At least MS made some decent money on Windows. Google has to pay its competitor Apple more than it makes on Android if you extrapolate what came out during the Oracle lawsuit.

Did they though? Apple is today by far the most profitable computer manufacturer.
