    Actually they are, because Google controls 90% of the internet, most cell phones while Apple controls the rest and does the same, meaning we consumers don’t get a choice.

      Google controls 90% of the internet

              There are plenty of options for running Android distributions free of Google influence.

                  Wrong about what? I’m stating facts and you’re crying about being forced to use products by big companies, which is entirely incorrect.
