I do believe since GOS is partnering with Motorola they will have access to the OEM exclusive resources and the internal repo.
Comment on Android: sideloading blocked and open source updates withheld to twice a year
luciole@beehaw.org 2 days agoThe sad part is that LineageOS, GrapheneOS and basically all Android alternative OS are built on top of the AOSP, which Google controls, and they’re staling updates to twice a year. These stalled updates may include critical security patches or device compatibility support.
Furthermore many android devices prevent users from entering a boot state which lets the owner install the OS of their choice, making everything more complicated.

Absolutely, Google can kill off Android by making it a walled garden, like iOS, but worse. We’ll see what the Motorola GOS device will be like.
I can definitely go back to tethered Linux WiFi tablet. Maybe something chinese, based on RISCV.

I don’t get Google’s “iOS, but worse” strategy, I’ll just buy a fucking iPhone then.
