An appliance Linux distribution without dependencies is way more complex than a typical android app and there is little prior art to train on.

Android apps on the other hand, LLMs have enough training data to rapidly generate whatever you can think of with much less time required for an experienced engineer to refine it into a quality result.

I am mostly pushing back on the notion of dismissing software as low quality just because the author used LLMs.

It is frankly amazing we can point an LLM at a proprietary ad-ridden app and get to an ad-free open source and privacy respecting clone in a weekend now.
