    It’s Linux, you can choose install (or not install) whatever you want.

    yes, well except that is what they are trying to patent (as far as I can tell) using key based tools to not allow certain apps and DNS filtering as well. If its based on linux, thats one thing, but doesnt stop them from locking things down.

      Sure, but the point is, it doesn’t come with WhatsApp on it.

          No, it’s showcasing the ability to install Android apps.

          which offers 99% compatibility with Android apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, and Spotify.

            They have it in the screen shot. And my point stands: they said they would stop apps that were social or anti-privacy (by refusing to load them or dns blocking) and WhatsApp is both of these things.
