> Every OEM was just releasing different Android versions here and there every year. And Google did nothing. They just let every smartphone company do what they want It's open source, what do you propose they do about that? Close source the OS? > For me the deterioration of Android started after Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean for me is the best Android OS in history. This is definitely where I lost you. That's a 10 year old OS, basically an OS that represents the the infancy of consumer smartphones. Anyone who actually goes back and uses an OS that old will quickly discover just how little "vital" functionality it has. One that's particularly funny to me: Android added native printer support in 8.0. That's something we've had on desktop computers for decades! We didn't even have fully fledged notification controls and do not disturb before Android 5, something that's considered a basic necessity now. Couldn't search the system settings.
