This isn’t true in regards to basically anything that runs closed source software. You can do whatever you can, but there are plenty of things you might want to do that you can’t do. That doesn’t mean you don’t own it.
Nah, you control your google powered phone as in you can decide to sell it, throw it away, repair it, etc. You don’t get ownership of the software that it runs though, or what that updates Google send your way.

You’re licking those corporate boots awfully hard for someone calling themselves Freedom advocate.
And that will do wonders for the security that Google claims is the reason behind this change, won’t it.
