then finally filtered out to the lazy 98.8% who couldn't be bothered disposing of their phone and buying a new one (or>rooting and upgrading their phone manually or abandoning their contract to get the marginal improvements over now-mature products).
This is the bulk of what I was referring to in the comment. The first line is a blatant attack against anyone who is not willing to part with their phone. By even telling users that is what they should do with their Android phone, the author is supporting this viscous cycle.
