Couldn't say. But it's beside the point. The point is, google reserves direct hardware access for themselves. GOS, AFAIK, is the only OS removing native google permissions from the platform. The reason being, they all try to be android with levers. Whereas GOS tries to be a secure platform which treats every provider equally, except where controlled by lever. It's a fundamental approach to creating a secure platform.
GOS is about security of your device, and control, minus black box RF/processor.
The others attempt to provide control.
