The mages of Electrical Engineering reseach the tools and formulars to control the magic. The mages of Hardware Engineering develop under great effort the sigils and rituals of how the rocks must be processed. The Warlocks of the CPU use the near infinit possibilities of algorithms and the power of the evolved rocks to create worlds nobody could ever have imagined (in exchange for the ability to go outside).
I think AOSP will stay open source for quite a while, so the forks can continue. What Google removed was access to the drivers for Pixels, which makes development for new phones or driver updates much harder.So I think the custom ROMs will take more time for updates or some might even ask for money to use their ROMs (which is fair in my opinion).
If the ROM ecosystem happen to die down, then my next step would be to get a open souce / hardware centered phone and install a mobile Linux distro.
How about a programm which screams "aaaaaaa" after you unlock your screen. Barely hearable at first and it gets louder with every minute.
People who don't know how to remove it would have to lock and unlock their screens every 5 minutes or so.
