Data collection is not the reason that Android is a bloated mess.

  John Gruber (yes, an Apple person) recently re-voiced the opinion that Google seems to have lost interest in Android and I keep coming back to it. Yes it exists, they add features. But they used to trumpet it a ton, add tons of new stuff. Try to keep expanding it like to tablets and other things. Now it’s basically phones, they don’t seem to try anymore on tablets. Phone makers come up with the new things (like folding) not Google. It sort of seems more reactive than proactive. I don’t know. I’m sort of spitballing as someone who doesn’t follow Android closely.

    If I recall properly, Google adapted Android for folding screens prior to Samsung's release of their Z series.

      I thought I remembered that some vendor sort of hacked some big feature in for their first phone, but maybe it wasn’t folding screens. Could it have been the dual screen phones? Sorry my memory is hazy too.
