An Apples to Oranges Comparison

When flagship features of iPhone / iPad OS updates are released 10+ years later to their Android counterpart's initial relase, how can users genuinely get upset when they're only promised 2-3 years of updates. Especially if updates like Android 11 come with 100+ new improvements.

I've had Phandroid aka "Android Phone Fans" in my RSS reader for more years than I can remember but I'm not putting up with their recent turn towards shilling app clones. Ethical questions surrounding the topics aside, their "10 best free apps to track a cheating spouse for Android" post is pushing 6 different apps made by the same company as their top 6 choices, and they published a second post today ("How to read someone else's text messages online for free) that, shocker, also promotes the s...

Is there anything stopping Google from creating an API that app developers can use to access a camera image, and forcing device makers to program that functionality into their devices in future Android releases?
