I think it's less that they'd get too many messages and more of the simple
fact that they don't HAVE TO provide any form of support. A cable or phone
company relies on your subscription to make money. If they don't support
their product, you would get pissed and move on to another company that did,
and they would go out of business.

Google on the other hand gives everything away for free anyway and won't be
adversely affected by unhappy customers - the number of people happily using
Google search, Gmail, Calendar, etc far outweigh those of us unhappy with
the state of Android - so there's no pressing need to provide any support
for anything.

Of course, we did all pay $25 to register as developers, so you'd think that
would warrant some level of support for the "good" we purchased. But what do
I know?
