Why did I get an Android phone if I don't want to be associated with Google? To write apps. Doesn't mean I want to mess with Google itself for this that and the other thing.

Winmo has apps, iPhone has apps, Blackberry has apps. You could write apps without having to deal with Google. It would actually be pretty easy to do so.
You still don't make sense as you chose to write apps for a GOOGLE product. Your apps will run on GOOGLE's OS. By doing so you are chosing, voluntarily, to associate with GOOGLE. Just like everyone who writes apps for WinMo is choosing to associate with Microsoft, just like everyone who writes apps for Blackberry is choosing to associate with Research In Motion. If you don't want to have anything to do with Google, the choice is clear: stop developing apps for GOOGLE's product: Android.
Whether you like it or not, you're on a site dedicated to a google product, you're not going to find a lot of sympathy for Google bashing, and you're going to run into people asking the same understandable questions.
