It doesnt fall under unfair advantage because partners like samsung are on the same level because they too get updates sooner ( through deals with google ). However, this will be a huge blow towards custom roms like lineageos that will now be way behind on updates compared to the rest.

But in the eyes of companies and manufacturers they arent competitors, they are leaches.

And before anyone flame against me, im typing this from lineageos, and will do so for a loooong time
