I think the hate is directed more at the general concept here rather than the specifics. What if they'd pushed out an update that silently broke SSL, made all your Google Photos public or started calling people at random, for example? This particular bug is pretty innocuous but the fact that it's possible to push out very obviously broken updates like this (and only admit to it when they're publicly called out on it) could lead to all sorts of issues. It's not like these users were opted in to some kind of "insider" or "testing" builds, after all. This should be the point where I point out that I installed LineageOS for this very reason but even they do stupid stuff, their "April Fools" update this year, for example: https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/04/05/dont-freak-lineageos-bad-late-april-fools-joke-latest-builds/ https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/04/05/dont-freak-lineageo...
