I think parent meant competition. If all other choices are super-exploitable crapware-laden routers, then Google's and Apple's devices become that much more valuable. Not sure effects on the market would be that great, but I can see how it would benefit GOOG/AAPL to reduce choices.

Oth hand no way in hell would I consider putting a Google device in the most important spot on my network, My distrust of them grows by the day.
When Google bought Nest, someone quipped something like: "great, now I'll have to listen to an ad before my smoke alarm goes off".
