Agreed across all points. Android's main advantages after the changes go through with side loading will be:

  1. choice of manufacturer and
  2. the still-deeply-flawed-but-far-superior implementation of a work profile in Android.

I love being able to press one button and have all of my containerized work apps shut off. It is also quite nice that a remote wipe from M365 could be limited to the work app container rather than the entire phone.
