AOSP is a joke. This is coming from a custom rom user.
Google has been squeezing custom roms for the past 10 years. They barely work, and this is both on purpose and unavoidable. Google shoves DRM anywhere they can get their grubby little hands into.
Also, AOSP doesn't even run on any devices. Anywhere. You need mountains of supplemental proprietary blobs and Google systems to get it onto a phone.
Also, Google is trying to kill all apps outside the play store anyway.

Its an open source software right? Free for anyone to do anything. Were you expecting a highly polished, it-just-works with free software? Isnt that being a little entitled?
Yes, I am entitled. No, I don't really care that Google has to put in more effort.
If it were up to me, we would enforce it by law. The consequences of a completely locked down mobile ecosystem are dire for humanity.
Yes, thats the level of things were talking about here. There's those who take the threat seriously, and those who don't. As each year passes by, it becomes more difficult to justify a state of apathy.
Free money has fuck all to do with it. This is about freedom and the perseverance of humanity.
If it makes you feel better, I do pay many hundreds of dollars a year for open source software. All donations.
I'm not saying that to brag or anything, but since we want to start making moral arguments, I think it's likely I'm much less of a freeloader than you. Um, ouch.
