I read the 33-comment Reddit fight about Google Spark vs OpenClaw and the real debate is way weirder

The 33-comment r/openclaw thread about Google Spark vs OpenClaw looks like a model comparison. It isn’t. The actual argument is about who controls the workflow surface area. One commenter nailed it: “the real competition isn’t ‘whose AI is smarter’ - it’s: who owns the workflow surface area”. That’s the whole thing. Google owns Gmail, Docs, Calendar, Drive, Meet, Search, and Android. OpenClaw gives you local models, Markdown memory, and the ability to wire an agent into your own machine and your own stack. Those are not competing on the same axis.
