You must remember that Google is now a public company, and it's creators rich beyond the wildest dreams of anyone here. One could just as equally argue that Google purchased Android not to serve the community, but themslves.
Was Microsoft being altruistic when they offered Internet Explorer for free while other browsers where alvailable for purchase?
Google has not proven that they are any different, or that what they do is for the community, as with their software their is usually strings attached.
Praise them as you like, but do not be surprised that many here can see through their smoke and mirror trick.
