Which makes no sense, if the property is in Android itself.

For example, lots of people use phones without any google play framework installed. Without that framework, how does it "carry over"?

This just raises more questions about how this whole process works.

Is it only the play api doing so? If so, then if you de-google, this entire problem goes away?

If not, then how can you 'carry over' to a phone unless you also install the play framework? Seems like that's unhelpful.
