Android is becoming just as much of a locked down walled garden as iOS. Hardware remote attestation is already here and it threatens to deny access to apps to all rooted phones.&lt;p&gt;If I must be in one of these little walled gardens, I&amp;#x27;m choosing the better kept one. It sure as hell isn&amp;#x27;t Google&amp;#x27;s.</text></comment>

Sometimes people feel like they barely have a choice and can hate them in-part for that too.&lt;p&gt;I hate Verizon and Comcast with a passion but if it’s between them or no internet access, well I hardly call that a choice.</text></comment>
