So you’re saying OEMs take no efforts to optimize for battery life. That’s kind of an extreme position to take. We know they are working on battery life because updates have extended battery life in deployed assets.

What? No? Where did I say "OEMs take no efforts to optimize for battery life"? Usually you try and be subtle about a strawman, no? I said overbearing app killers aren't optimizing for battery life. Do you think that's the only knob for battery life? I'm currently working on an unreleased Android device at our company, the number of knobs we have to turn for battery life is insane. Throttling behavior, optimizing existing services, screen off behavior, etc. App killers don't work, again, that's why vanilla Android devices consistently top battery life charts. Forcing apps to start up more often, breaking user functionality, it's not a real solution. Android already has built-in management of background services and has had it for half a decade: (https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-sta...) The defaults scope of background processing is already very tight on Android, breaking that already limited scope for little to negative gain isn't helping anyone but themselves.
