I was mostly thinking about Android userspace/kernel/UX. The DX is of course tragic, and has been going down the drain since ... well, since the good old days of the first few years of Android Studio. But even back then it was a shitshow. When documentation wasn't completely useless then the APIs themselves were. (NDK is worth a dishonorable mention.) In-app payment APIs are also pretty meh - which directly make money for them!
And yeah, there's Flutter, and now there's this new Jetpack/Compose whatever. But as is tradition it's nowhere near production ready. And when it becomes finally solid, they just abandon it.
Angular went through the same cycle. I'm looking forward to their new React++ :D
