Yes, there are positive aspects in it as well. But overall, I think the competing path slowed things down for regular Linux simply by dispersing resources and distracting manufacturers on Android exclusively. May be at some point it'll play out to the better, but not yet at least. Open drivers (like Lima and etc.) are coming slowly, so there is some hope.

I don't think Android took away any resources from desktop Linux, it's a strictly parallel development. It has already added many resources to kernel development. We should be happy and try to leverage the added effort for maximum positive, open source, effect.

I meant it took resources away from mobile (regular, non Android) Linux development.
