I think there's a difference between: saying "Google makes products that people are unable to improve upon" and saying that Google "can't force manufacturers to use their software".
Those just seem...like totally different statements to me. Yes, Google has done an amazing job building a great software platform. No, despite the fact that Google is the best, they are not allowed to use that market dominance to assert undue control over the rest of the ecosystem.
I guess I just don't see anyone blaming Google for making amazing products. People were blaming Google for using the immense leverage that their near-monopoly position put them in (because they made amazing products).
