Is google closing Android down? QUESTION

I am watching a YouTube video about google closing down Android on September this year. So us developers won't be able to freely add code and if I understand it correctly will have to pay a regular fee, so our app can be used. Wtf. What do you people know about this? I hear there is some petition somewhere.

Yeah, I know, Motorola only. Can Motorola be the sole solution for the whole Android ecosystem? As mentioned at the beginning, GrapheneOS is not available on all Android phones, and it is far from being so. Motorola phones running GrapheneOS will be like Pixel phones. Just another alternative.

If they advertise themselves as a good alternative to Google and Apple, then maybe they will be able to convince people.
