Truly there is nothing more beneficial Google could do for the future of Android as an open platform that decouple their anti-malware tech from their store. We’ve advocated stridently for that in direct discussions.

We should give Google adequate time to consider that direction, but if they ultimately refuse then it demonstrates a deliberate strategy to undermine the safety of Android users in order to disadvantage competing software sources through a cloud of mistrust.

Good question! Google is the #5 most profitable company in the world. In my rough estimate, Google search revenue from Android users exceeds Google’s cost of developing Android by at least a factor of 20. I’d greatly appreciate any more refined estimate of this.
