Chromebooks are righteous (have not evaluated Android app runtime security). Not Android OS, so not quite on topic -- except Chromebook OEM control much tighter, more like Apple. Right?

In the middle. Oem hardware but no oem control over software images, and tighter hardware certification reqs. Still, points to a middle path. Does android business model require oem images? If so, why?

Foistware, crapware, risk of bricked phones => OEM or Operator support burden. Lots of reasons. Google has tried to mitigate, to be sure, but extra costs are baked in the "low road" cake, I keep saying.

I think this is the right question. Why was Google able to make a very secure laptop, but not a very secure phone?

Android was an acquisition and was rushed to market.

More important: different market.

Doesn’t “retooling the entire OS at the last minute to look like the iPhone” count as “rushed”?

Being rushed == more bugs == more security problems. See https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.03356.pdf … — most of the vulns are just plain bugs.
