I don't claim to speak for what most people want. I think having more options than iOS and Android could help promote more consumer-friendly choices.

>> Yes because using an operating system from the other 1 trillion dollar market cap company is going to be a better alternative. Meet the new boss...

It would be another choice. Yes, they have similar incentives, but more choices help to drive innovation and keep all players competitive.

>> And you are in the modernity and so much so that it wouldn’t be a profitable business. Do you think Microsoft is going to give you that?

No. Microsoft is a better position than many to be a third choice in smartphone platforms, but they have shown poor initiative in the mobile space. They could try again or it could be some other organization with sufficient know-how and daring. (Something disruptive like Tesla or Starlink perhaps?)

>> Have the majority of users been clamoring for it?

"If I had asked my customers what they wanted they would have said a faster horse." --Henry Ford

"Some people say give the customers what they want, but that's not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they're going to want before they do." --Steve Jobs

>> Where are all of the “innovations” that the majority of people care about - or even enough to make a profitable business - on Android where you can sideload and have third party web browser engines?

Android is innovative because it is more open than iOS. Even more innovation is possible given the right circumstances.
