Why are they announcing the launch of Android 15 on other brands of phone? How is that any of their business? Isn’t Android open source, they dont have to get a licence from Google to use it or something do they?

Nobody is using AOSP anymore. It’s just a basic framework that each device maker builds their skin on. And since Google has full control over AOSP, everyone is dependent on them to publish the code so they can start working on it or to give early access.
