According to The New York Times description of Justice Department deliberations, "They are discussing various proposals, including breaking off parts of Google, such as its Chrome browser or Android smartphone operating system." This highlights the serious consideration being given to potential structural changes within Alphabet to address monopolistic claims.
The experts at Android Authority wrote, "Android organically drives users to many other Google services, including search, YouTube, and Gmail." This illustrates how integral Android is to Google’s service ecosystem, making a breakup challenging.
While the Android mobile operating system is not a large revenue producer, it does bring in some licensing revenue... and includes Google products like Gmail and Search in its suite of products. This indicates Android's strategic importance beyond direct revenue.
