Would it have been any better if Nokia and Blackberry had dominated the market?

It would have been, at least to some degree, better if Nokia, Blackberry, Apple, and Google had dominated the market instead of Apple and Google.

Not particularly, if that just means you're beholden to those companies instead.

My issue is not that you need to be using Android in general for example (base Android is FOSS, so the user can in principle have full control over their device), but that often for these things you need to be using Android with Google services, with all the tracking and such that entails.
