Crowdstrike outage has shown that isn't even remotely true in comparison - Microsofts failure took out a lot of critical infrastructure. Killing Google search wouldn't come close.

Google != Google search. I can imagine a scenario like Crowdstrike hitting Android which runs on significantly more devices.

And the effect of an Android outage would still be significantly smaller than outage of industrial machines powered by Windows.

Aren't there a lot of IoT/industrial applications of android?
