Google already didn't give a fuck about 911 problems (or 112 in my case) on the Pixel 4a, those have been unfixed since release. Google doesn't seem to care that dead people don't make for good customers.

Semver makes really no sense. The userspace ABI tries to never have breaking changes; yet the internal APIs for use by drivers, and indeed the drivers themselves, can have breaking changes every single release. Not that most users care, a
