I like the idea of Android stealing enough market share that Apple is forced to be more open.

The one that really blew my mind was the Find My network. Android tried to cooperate with Apple, and Apple stalled and dragged it out until Android gave up.

The effect was that Android got "Find My" about a year later than it would have otherwise, and the networks won't be compatible. But isn't Find My network compatibility relatively better for Apple? At worst there are places where Android and Apple devices split market share evenly. In most of the world, Android has the larger network/market share. Apple was willing to sacrifice that win to stall Android rolling out a major feature for a year.
