Google produced Android because Microsoft was threatening to freeze them out of
advertising revenue from mobile search services.
The later success of the iPhone meant that the threat moved from a potential
Microsoft threat to an actual walled-garden, Apple threat and the advertising
tied to apps as well as internet search.
Android dominance only ensures a level playing field for Google's services. It
is a dominance that is earned. Android is not monetized.

Google just could have made sure that Android
didn't infringe
other companies patents.
That is impossible, due to what
they call the "patent
thicket"! Also, there is no way to ensure you don't
infringe
somebody's patent because that is a judgement call, patents
are
written so broadly. Even USPO will change there mind
about the validity of a
patent. If you begin a comment with
a statement like that, it is clear nothing
good can become
of it and you are either a troll, or very ignorant about the
subject. From your vehemence, I can discern that you are a
troll rather than
just ignorant, but you might be both.
