Android isn't broken because Google doesn't care. It's broken because the team is fatigued. They reached their max potential. It will take a new team with new ideas for significant iteration. You can't add a junior dev to the android team and expect massive improvements anymore.
That being said, there isn't a lot of low hanging fruit left in android. But the cafeteria, I'm sure, has a long way to go and a lot that could be reduced.
IF the costs continue to rise, that is.

Hm, but I thought that today technology can solve any problem so long as we gave it the right amount of funding? Including human resources problems? > IF the costs continue to rise, that is. As pointed out elsewhere in this discussion, a megacorp with Alphabet's net income can surely swallow the cost. They have bigger things to fund.
