Security updates will hurt much more than other features… from what I have read Google brings security updates faster than the AOSP.
This is sufficient to scare avaerge users away from Huawei
Huawei has lost access to Android OS Platform and Google services
-ish.
So official Google Devices (Pixel, etc) do tend to get latest Android first. Then release to AOSP then the distros which build in the community then support. So yes you tend to see Google devices get updates faster.
But you have a countering slowing, the phone manufactuers then take Google’s updates and test themselves, and typically I find the phone manufacturers push Android updates slower than the open source community.
So combined you tend to see Google devices update first, then AOSP builds, then the rest.
Also over time, the phone vendor gets bored with doing updates, so after 1-2 years you find AOSP keeps updating and the officials slow or stop. e.g. my Moto G4 Play stopped getting updates, one slow up later then nothing.
For popular devices, sold in the thousands / millions there is enough of an open source community to care to develop and test. So Huawei being popular probably means it will get updates via open source for years.
However can you imagine how low you can go with these wars. The IMEI of the phone is known, the networks, say T-Mobile knows it is a Huawei, so you could end up disabling all Huawei phones. So then China just disables all the iphones. Then Apple’s share plummet even more. So you see how we end up worse off.
I’m just guessing, no inside knowledge. I’d prefer if adults took control.
Android phone users hardly get updates unless it’s an latest phone from Samsung or Google. That’s a blow to Huawei P30 / P30 pro users, if they already bought it.
Carriers forced by Governments to disable competing phone vendors would be detrimental 
This has been heard of in the past when Apple was warned thier iPhones ( all models) could be blocked from Services in India, due to some on going issues with a spam block app… but Apple took some actions to avoid this.
And the release of the Candroid OS in 3…2…1…
It’s all kicking off 
Very interesting
Huawei is going through some really tough times.
X Mate may not even launch now.
What would happen if Chinese government would forbid to sell parts for e.g. Apple from Chinese production?

Interesting question… what if they denied parts for all US companies, almost everything gets manufactured in China and this is not in good interest of consumers - we the users.
Did you all hear that intel, Qualcomm and some other companies may follow google against huawei
Oh my! My phone’s Huawei!!! 
Off to google and read a bit more about it.
things are going to get even worse, microsoft to follow soon, no OS support for Huawei laptops, plus more.
what all this does is break consumer confidence in the products, eventually hurting the company

Yep and pointed out by others this will result in a loop with consumers being hurt as governments try to attack companies

I am probably a little bitter, but good. Huawei customer service is awful. I bought the Nexus 6P and I got the kernal boot loop after about 9 months of use. They did nothing for me. Google blamed them, they blamed Google (but, Google at least attempted to help me and hooked me up in the end). The spying accusations I have read are worrisome and hopefully their bottom line takes a mega hit.
Someone’s loss is someone else’s gain. users of Huawei will slowly / gradually move to Apple, Samsung or Google.
The company is definitely gonna take a hit and to a certain degree, their customers are gonna take a hit as well
Easy : Changing to LINUX.
Bye, bye MS…
