My conclusion after being an Android user for quite a while, then switching to iOS but continuing to be an Android developer for years after that, is that Google is simply a terrible steward of important software. It was beyond obvious that important things were being neglected or fucked-around with for purely portfolio-building reasons (and often badly half-assed—OMG, the Material UI stuff was shit at the programming level despite the huge marketing campaign for it, looked like the designers just spitballed some stuff then dumped it on the summer interns to handle the details), despite Android being their premier platform and probably in their top-5 most-prominent consumer software products (ChromeOS is important in some niches, but not much outside those).
