I recently had to do a quick proof of concept in Android. To my very surprise there does not seem any „right“ way to do anything. Especially overlapping and competing concepts everywhere. „Activitiy“ vs „Fragment“, Camera, camera2, camerax, kotlon, java, rxjava… The official android architecture repo illustrates this perfectly. https://github.com/android/architecture-samples https://github.com/android/architecture-samples

It is ridiculous how frustrating this aspect is. The pattern of deprecating stuff doesn't help. :(

There's no "right way" of doing things on the web either - but there's plenty of ways to choose that fit your organization and the way you work. Why is that a problem? That is - why do you need Google to tell you how to do your job well? (You also listed a bunch of orthogonal concepts and even 3rd party libraries. Are you seriously criticising the ecosystem for having good 3rd party libraries?)
