Didn't they just lose a major lawsuit over their treatment of sideloaded apps and stores?

Isn't it against the EU's DSA?
Yes, probably why this wont affect EU users.

Same outcome as with their search engine, same thing with Chrome, Youtube and many other Google products. They built up their user base with a solid product (or bought it), and then started shitting all over their users by making horrible decisions and inserting all sorts of dark patterns in the name of "security" or whatever else pretense. I'm still hoping another entity steps up and fills the vacuum that Android leaves behind.
Oh hell yeah, I hope this means an exodus of people forking the latest open source software they can, or if not moving to Linux mobile altogether
Edit:
I had meant that I'd like it if people flocked from developing android to developing Linux mobile. I should have clarified that.
If we could have a solidly performing Linux mobile that has the capability of docking into a full desktop OS, that shit would be an absolute game changer for personal computers.
