selling android or breaking it up would be terrible since you just go back to each manufacturer making their own flavor with no updates or compatability.
It’d be good for Android to be mostly its base, the Android Open Source Project. Over the years Google put more and more things in the proprietary part of Android (Google Play Services) instead of AOSP.
Depends on who takes over whether that gets better of course. If they also put too much in Play Services, or ask the manufacturers for a high fee, yes it’s possible we go back to more oem flavours.

Disagree, you might be right in the short term, but long term competition like that only benefits the customer.
