Yesterday, it was shipping phones and tablets using a forked version of Android without Google services. Today, Huawei is shipping HarmonyOS" on phones and tablets, which is forked Android without Google services. Did anything actually change here?

That about sums it up. We were promised a brand new operating system, but in reality, all they gave us is yet another Android fork, of which there are countless.
