It's discussing and product, and that's all the customer actually cares about. When tech news outlets discuss Google Android versus MIUI versus OneUI versus iOS versus iPadOS, they don't care about the way the kernel implements multithreading or what interrupt mechanisms the USB drivers use.
Given its similarity, webOS and Android could be considered the same OS if you're looking at it from an OS designer point of view, but that's meaningless to the readers of this article.
- damnitbuilds 2y agoBut they surely must care about how fast the OS is, what it can connect to, what protocols it supports. That is all about OS-without-UI. They should call sites like The Verge '"Tech" News'. Technical news for people who don't actually understand any of the actual technology involved.

- jeroenhd 2y agoWhat it can connect to and what protocols it supports all depends on the software you run on it. As long as there is supports for basic I/O, you can run a modern copy of Chrome on it. That's why Android 7 and Windows XP can still be used for day-to-day browsing just fine, even though the OS itself stopped being supported and maintained years ago.
