Right. Newer Android versions keep adding more and more critical stuff that gets updated via the play store - ART (Android Runtime) will be a Mainline module in Android 12 that would allow Google to update it without needing a system OTA update. Chrome/System WebView have been updated via Play Store since Android 5 I think.

- foolmeonce 6y agoThe manufacturer/google installed apps really undermine what little trust I have in Android security. If you do a normal OS update, the old version is gone. With these playstore things, ancient versions are sitting in storage waiting to be rolled back to (or probably otherwise executed with the permissions they shipped with,) since no one can be trusted to know they don't need bloatware.
