I don't think anyone wants a monopolist (a part from the monopolist itself). The most dangerous in the mobile space able to gain (regain?) a monopoly is Apple.

Google seams far less dangerous to me, just build on android (the open source project) and google monopoly can (thoretically) be broken... am I too naive?

You are being naive, by thinking that if Google says it's "open source" it has no leverage with it. "Open source" is a very misleading label Google also uses here. Google owns Android, they make Android - how can anyone break this by modifying it?
