You make a rule that public service can only buy devices using AOSP-bis based systems (or even better: states choose their own AOSP distros)

don't give Google the monopoly

better: "You make a rule that public service can only buy devices using libre systems"

If you fork, by definition, they no longer have the monopoly. The fork does not even have to follow Google's updates.

Yes. But still, it should be "libre systems" rather than "AOSP systems".
