Google seems to be putting a lot of resources into their new Fuchsia OS, which though open source, is still completely managed by Google. It also has the drawback of not being under copyleft licenses like GPL, which means other companies can just take it and make proprietary forks.
People who have followed the Fuchsia project, do you see it eventually becoming a significant enough competitor to Linux to be a threat to it, and therefore giving Google even more control of the software world?
If anything I think it will help in some areas, I think the tactic behind it being at least partially open source is that manufacturers can use their operating system without paying fees (which is the contrary of what MS does) and that will help them gain a monopoly in the mobile OSs, which is the same they did with Android. But I think it could help in stuff like gaming, for example, but yeah, shitty but Linux isn’t going to be moving anywhere.
