Most Android issues arise due to either vendors which don't update the devices, or malicious vendors that actually pre-install malware (beware of phones ordered from aliexpress etc ...).
Android is open source, after all. Not much Google can do there.
- dep_b 10y agoWhy wouldn't a device receive updates when the manufacturer abandons it? Most laptops from 2008 long abandoned by their manufacturers still run Windows 10. If Microsoft can pull it off Google can do it too. No excuses.
