"Some manufacturers, of course, choose to allow users to exercise some control over their devices. But "Android" is no guarantee of this."
I agree that Android itself does not guarantee who control's the device. But not "some", but almost all manufacturers allow users to exercise a great deal of control over their devices.
if you can install someones software on your device without the permission of a third party, you are already much more in control than on any iOS device.
"As open as OS X, Windows 7 or Android" is already worth fighting for.
