As I understand it, Google's lack of control over updates, fragmentation and forking is because of the way it set up Android, as open source code. I think Google needs to take back control. Just because Android started as open source, does that mean that every future version of Android (Android 6, 7, etc) must forever be open source?

Right now, I think most people don't know or care about Android's security weaknesses. But one day, people's bank logins, PayPal logins, identity, pictures, contacts, etc will get stolen in a big way that gets widely publicized. And in a flash, Android will lose buckets of market share.
