BUT, I am living in the current time. What I see and what is really bad is when a company like Google is having close to a monopoly and can dictate whatever they like.
What can prevent a company from acting bad? Some regulation but more importantly, more competition.

I do like SFOS but I also much appreciate others that support other system (apart from the apple) because we need more alternative systems.

I think the current attack from the European Commission against Google is peanuts if there is no viable alternative.
Can you point out what do you mean by transperency and openness they have now exactly?
I hear this words a lot, from them and now from fans, but mostly always nothing stands behind. Most time they do not provide information or provide half side of it. There is no road map and some questions like when they'll opensource parts they promised to on launch, or where we stay on paid store that was promised. If you pay attention those questions are still unanswered and though they are top voted even on TJC. They do decide what question to answer and how, this is simple PR move. Android devs can be found on reddit, today even windows engages with devs and community, it's popular to promote to few people, who will be making cult for you and fight for you, telling how their platform is awesome and transparent with no actual base for that
Jolla is already acting like Google, so if they get big like Google they'll worse (simple logic)
