Where in your example does Google "force" you to use Android?

Where in your example are you talking about the real world where companies can be competitive without it?

How do Google force manufacturers to put Android on their phones?  Do they force Apple to put Android on iPhones?

So if I start up a small handset manufacturing company, tell me what my real world options are for an operating system at this point?  You know, the ones which will actually ensure I'm competitive in the marketplace with other manufacturers.  Windows perhaps, but Microsoft will want a licensing fee, which means competitors using Android can undercut me.

Or I start up a small app business and have a great idea for an app which triangulates phone locations better than anyone else and I'm looking to secure contracts with handset manufacturers?

Android is suppose to be open sourced and Google must not have power to require phone manufacturers to load Google crap apps as default and cannot be deleted. Apple, on other hand is not open source or claim as such.But, about this article, Google wants to make money on others work should be stopped/penalized.
