@jazaval @lianna @leeloo This was actually the point I was gonna get to earlier when I said I'll post something "in a bit".
The difference is a McDonalds franchisee works for McDonalds and represents their brand and sells stuff under their banner, so they have to uphold the expectation what a McDonalds is.
A private person using the android OS themselves does not work for google, does not represent their brand to others so they shouldnt need to uphold the brand's expectations.

@jazaval @lianna @leeloo The customer or end user is not an actor whose job it is to further the brand values of the companies they are a customer of. They're the customer not a billboard. They're the end of the chain so there's no one under them they need to uphold brand values and expectations for.

@StaticR @lianna @leeloo an agreement is an agreement. you make one when you use software. you can opt to violate it if you like, but that doesn’t mean you get to unilaterally set the terms of its use.
