The piracy communities are showing empty for me. Are my settings wrong or something?

Bear in mind Android was meant to be an open source endeavour. They'll release the OSS version, then slowly close the up the market as it gets adoption, so that it really can't be used without their approval.

Considering there's this about media, there will be some sort of DRM involved. I guarantee it.

This is hard though. You present commercial license, and you'll cut out a good 80-90% of the potential users, which means the OSS project is way more likely to die.

I think CTOs should be okay with allowing their employees to contribute to projects they use. In my first hand experience, they're more likely to say "no we shouldn't". It's unfair really.

Google has actually taken great strides to make custom ROMs as easy as humanly possible

I guess that is besides:

  • slowly, but surely, stopping development of many AOSP core apps in favour of their own proprietary apps.
  • ensuring many of their apps are basically unusable with a custom ROM
  • making it so easy for app devs to block custom ROMs

Dunno, but that's all Google stuff.

I hope so. I really want Valve to allow Android games on to their store and allow installation from it etc. I'd trust Valve way more than Google, thus I'd be way more inclined to buy Android games.

Iirc the plan was to only allow buses (and maybe black cabs?)

I don't have an answer for your specific question (you can easily find out testing such a scenario on docker on your personal computer), but you should look into bazzite and use either brew or if you feel adventurous enough use package layering to add fish to the image.

I hope one day there will be a good Google Wallet alternative. I've got a Pixel phone with GrapheneOS, and Google Wallet does not work because Google doesn't trust it. It would be great to get something in it's place.

If Apple really care Asahi wouldn't be reversed engineered, and instead would be implementing from docs.

No. Apple cares as much about FOSS as they care about privacy. They only care when it suits them.
