Nothing added to android in the last 10-15 years has been of any benefit to me, mostly just pointless interface churn, the addition of nag screens, and removal/deprecation/awkwardification of features I actually use.
Given that, I think the world would be improved by reduction of such “development”.
If you are unable to recognize the improvements Android has made from 15 years ago with Android 3.2 Honeycomb I think your use of devices is incredibly niche.
