Magisk developer explains reasoning behind sunsetting

First off, the author doesn’t owe it to anyone to continue to develop Magisk, whether now working at Google or elsewhere, and he’s been generous with the community. This is the Key quote from the thread: (I think)

> You'll be surprised with how many people in Google are pro-modding. It's just that differentiating between abuse and modding is an extremely difficult problem. As a platform, unfortunately, and understandably, preventing abuse has significantly higher priority than modding

“abuse” gives companies the license to lock down their systems to prevent general purpose computing. I wish the modding community hadn’t been so lured by the “open source” label put on Android and had instead started on their own Linux based operating system.
