> It's the same reason Google started making Nexus phones: so that someone, somewhere, would make a good Android phone without messing something up.

The problem Google have though is they have zero input into the hardware design, other than choosing from the existing models. So their ability to prevent cock ups only extends to the software.

Except there was the Nexus 7 TRIM issue that killed SSD performance and took a year to patch. I suppose they've had a lot to learn.
