    I’ve been waiting for this for ages, I still think letting your main competitor decide when you can release a product is just absurd.

    Apple didn’t give a shit about android users getting tracked when they launched air tags.

      Then again they aren’t Apple. Google doesn’t have the Apple’s accidental perception of being privacy oriented. Which is nonsense in reality but nevertheless people will look at the exact same solution from Google and interpret it as another privacy invading spying device.

      In addition, Google has created and contributed to a shit ton of open source software that has required collaboration with communities and companies, all of which requires going the extra mile to get others onboard.
