Growing an ecosystem takes time. I’ve been using open source software since 1980s. Now I can use open source on tablets and phones. All my apps work because they’re open source.
The ecosystem would be now even better if more people would have put their choices that way. They didn’t. That was a choice, whether they realized it or not.
Yes and no. I support foss and am trying slowly to move myself. I would love a linux phone but supports are not in place to have a similar experience. Banking apps and app availability and feature parity are barriers. Consumers would move to something new if it filled their needs, see blackberry to iphone.
I hate microsoft so I dont care that they lost but they didnt give it enough time to build for sure, but you had huge apps like snapchat saying they wouldn’t build for their phone. This is limiting exposure.
The fact is moving out of tbe established duopoly is more akin to choosing not to have a device then it is choosing a competitor, it may aswell be a palm pilot you move to in some instances.
