What if Android didn't exist? (Or Google decided to develop a closed source OS?) What would this alt-timeline's privacy smartphone OSes looked like? (Since Android Forks wouldn't exist.)

I can’t believe no one mentioned Maemo and MeeGo, I stand to this day that my Nokia N9 was the best smartphone I ever had because of the OS, I only switched because Nokia abandoned it in favor of Windows phone which made apps stop supporting it and no new apps being released for it, if it hadn’t been for that I wouldn’t have switched to Android.
