This would be horrible for people who enjoy sideloading APKs.

      All of AOSP is open-source. It stands for Android Open-Source Project.

      Most applications and services are not, including Google’s. Those aren’t the OS, though.

      Much of chip vendors’ BSPs are proprietary as well, but that’s not Android, that’s just the bits that go with the chips they sell.
