Android Apps on Windows 11
This is based on AOSP and not Closed source Google Android. So wait for Google to cancel Microsofts licence to make Android devices.

That would be fantastic; if anyone can call Google out on that anticompetitive nonsense MS is a good bet.

Microsoft makes Surface Duo. A Google certified Android device. Google forbids companies that make Android devices to make devices on Android forks.

I guess the technicality they can use here is "we're not shipping a device based on AOSP, but a software feature based on AOSP". Even Surface hardware is technically a Windows-based device with AOSP features.
