I predict Windows will end up going this route before Google backtracks on it.
This is the future; partially fuelled by malware, partially fuelled by the desire for platform control, and partially fuelled by government regulation.

Imagine that metaphorical granny that in an instant catches fire and turns into ash if the governments and large corporations don't have complete control over our lives.
