Qualcomm has been shipping closed-source modules for Android mobiles for years. Support of the another similar platform changes nothing. Adreno GPUs exist for many years and upstream support is deplorable. Nothing was stopping Chromebooks making ARM/Adreno support in upstream ever. Page is a marketing and not a binding. Continue to downvote all you want. Qualcomm and open source doesn't belong to the same sentence - history of the alternative ROM for Androids is a living poof.
