So if Google said that companies can no longer use Android, you would be satisfied?

Way to miss the point.

If Google stopped letting others use Android, and they could only use AOSP, then they wouldn’t be being anti-competitive because they’re not forcing their services on those using Android. This really isn’t hard to understand.

If you let others use your product and you are the market leader, you can’t abuse your market leader position to be anti-competitive or you’ll get fined.
