Are they wrong?
By the traditional definition they are kind of wrong. I don’t agree at all with Googles relentless data harvesting and ads, but the software isn’t going to make copies to hide itself on your phone and make it difficult to remove. You would be able to uninstall it like any other app without it leaving anything behind.
So it is more like adware than a virus.
Minor counterpoint - I cannot uninstall the Google app
What about on a Huawei phone? If it wasn’t there to begin with and had to be installed I’d expect it could also be uninstalled. I don’t have a Huawei phone to test it out.
Once Google Services are installed, it takes reflashing to remove them, because they install to system.

Was just coming to say this. Googles apps are an enormous pain in the ass to get rid of.
Spoiler: It is.
I don’t think anybody is saying that it’s not. I think the people are saying that it’s kind of funny that it’s Huawei being hypocritical enough to even mention the word virus.
Huawei keeps on winning
