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.

For the second option, weren't they always tightly integrated? I don't remember a time when they weren't.

Android itself is not at all dependent on or related to Google Play. Google is trying to change that, though.
