This could bite G**gle in the arse because Android is open-source and there are a number of non-G**gle sources for the OS.

I’m sure many of them would jump at the opportunity to be the Android-provider to Huawei, with the potential side-effect of removing those devices from the G**gle ecosystem.

I have multiple smart devices running the LineageOS Android and I don’t miss G**gle in the least, and I celebrate the fact that they collect zero data from my phones.
