What on earth are you talking about. This makes zero sense, at all.
Perhaps you haven't been paying attention to Google's strategy over the past few years. On one of the podcasts I watch (This Week in Google on Twit, although Android Central has touched on it too if you want to stay in Mobile Nations), the topic of how Google is trying to lock down and control Android has come up frequently.
The way it was originally suppose to work, Google would continue to update AOSP, then anyone could fork that and make their own version of Android OS or use Google's version. The idea is that its all mostly equal. Over the past few years, Google has been deprecating APIs and slowly abandoning AOSP in favor of their own proprietary GMS. This has made it increasingly harder for people like Amazon or CM to compete, as you basically have to write for Google's version of Android (Snap chat is proof of this. In theory, Snap chat should be just like a lot of social media, but they require proprietary APIs that Google has put into GMS and left out of AOSP).
Google has also tried this (albeit with rather limited success) with Android One, where they offer pure, skinless Android. Not related to AO, but just look at how pure Androidish Samsung has become. It use to be overly skinned and touchwized to hell, but Google has been locking things down. It sorta makes sense why they would want to, but that's beside the point.
CM (and clearly many others including Microsoft) have noted this. CM is currently on 5% of Android devices and growing quickly. Their plan is to take that power away from Google and make it open. Many have interpreted this as somehow *they'll * be the next GMS, but (according to them anyways), they'll just want to make it open again, not to take down Google. It's obvious why that would hurt Google and why Microsoft would want it, but I'm not going to be the judge of what should/shouldn't happen.
Frankly, I've seen many of your comments in the articles, so you'll probably dismiss then, then insult me for not preferring your preferred tech company (if you don't, I'll be impressed).
