    Hate to say it, but if they do chop off Android, it can only become worse as it would now need to make loads of money or go under. Both of which would be terrible for any end user.

    And if they bunch up google play together with Android, it would result in even tighter integration of the two, which is how Android got bad in the first place.

      Nah, split it into Google & Chrome, Android & Play Store, Ads, Cloud Services, YouTube. All of them would be big enough to be still considered big tech on their own. Enforcing interoperability will do the rest by allowing actual competition.
