I was just trying to say that i hope that the creators of custom roms will still be able to do their work, which i don’t take for granted. Google doesn’t make their money with the phones themselves but with the data they get from the os thats running on them.
The CPU is still Google’s Tensor, and the modem on current Pixels is already a blackbox that custom ROMs interact with using binary blobs ripped from the official ROM. There isn’t much that could get worse with this change.

Oh bullshit. Google is charging as much as Apple. They are making money off of the phone sales.
