Indeed, they sell phones with their OS preinstalled, but they also offer an open source OS for free for anyone to download an install. In the end they need some income, and I'd rather they sell phones (saving the user the trouble of installing another OS on their phones) than do it through ads or other ways that offer no value for a user.
Don't get me wrong, I totally get it and that is not the issue, I just didn't feel I should trust them, but as I said, I will look at them again :)
