Yeah, it did. It’s called Android.

Aren't there Android versions that don't have all the Google things and are open source? (GrapheneOS and LineageOS) If you're just talking about your average android I'm afraid I agree and am an offender myself. (I hope to change that one day though)

Google still controls the source, and so they have influence over the rest.

It's like Ungoogled Chromium. Sure, it's open source. Sure, if might have Google crap removed. Google still calls the shots on the direction of the browser.

Same still meaningfully applies to Chromium-based browsers.
