> Because it gives Google money
And and what is the problem with it?
This money goes to fund the development of the Android Open Source Project and the further production of the only device that has a strong secure element AND an unlock-able bootloader.
Why would it be better to give that money to for example Samsung who do a lot less for Free Software then Google does?
