I suppose what my post is getting at is more or less that if android and apple hadnt asserted their marketplace that the result would have been that their devices would be slightly open feature phones.

There might be a higher end unsubsidized market for enthusiasts and enterprise users and of course I imagine on the android end we’d still get the nexus line for vanilla android, but it would be a bit of a mess.
