    I agree with this take, but Google does stand pretty tall on Open Source. Android is technically the most widely used Linux variant in use.

      Sure, they all use open source to varying degrees.

      But most of Android is actually contributed by engineers who are being paid by Google.

      We could argue that $300K in San Francisco is still exploitation, but there are worse forms of exploitation in any case.

      And I wouldn’t be surprised if ChromeOS is second.
