Like Google and pretty much every other tech giant.

Google are extremely keen on supporting open source when it hits their competitors but when it's about their own business they pretty much avoids ot. They took Linux and created Android... they the practically locked it down by moving more and more essentials into Play Services... which by some of reason isn't open source.
