You're also not wrong at LTS updates/support-- but that too speaks (at least in my opinion) to having a very limited line of hardware profiles to build and QA with. Android has no choice but to move on, move forward, etc due to having to invest so heavily in QA testing across hundreds if not thousands of hardware profiles. They simply don't have the will (they absolutely have the money, but at what point is it justified to spend) on QA'n new builds on 10 year old phones, and all variations of phones from 10 years ago, etc. I'd be curious to know how many QA teams they have, probably more than I imagine.
The workarounds for getting things sideloaded (I believe using shared dev keys?) is pretty ingenious on iOS but not worth the hassle. But that's just a "I'm too lazy" problem for me.
Go iPhones! err wait ... what am I saying?!

- I always thought that Google creates the code base for their reference phones(in the past it was the nexus devices that was built for them by 3rd parties and more recently the pixel devices) and drops it into Android open source project and then each manufacturer compiles and adds their customizations from that code base. You are more briefed on android development than I am however so I would love some clarification on that. Also, "hardware profiles" are we talking developing for the nexus devices/pixel devices? in that scenario isn't google actually on the hook for developing/support for less models than apple? as typically they produce at most 2 versions(and until very recently the devices have had almost exact feature parity except for display size) where as apple produces a few models a year? and it isn't just screen sizes usually that differ(referring to camera lay out internal design features display configuration and other hardware differences)
- based on this chart from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.or
"No, RedPocket customers do not have a direct AT&T account number. RedPocket is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) that uses AT&T's network, but it operates its own independent account management system. RedPocket customers have a RedPocket account number, not an AT&T account number."

- Most call centers are in India, and I've never had trouble understanding them, even as a non-native speaker.
- Customer service agents often can't solve anything beyond basic requests. If you're facing a complex issue, ask for a manager.
- Comparing iPhones to MVNOs is unfair. Apple isn't a MVNO, and their support is far superior.
I've had experience with several providers, including Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, their agents were also generally based in India, and they struggled to resolve tech issues that weren't simple fixes, taking hours to sort out complex problems.Their support
1. Pretend this is the first time you called.
2. Waste your time doing stuff that you know won't fix it
3. Apologize
4. Waste more of your time
5. Apologize
6. Have you tried rebooting the phone while standing on one foot? (This step is like drive 25 miles to try to call (a real request made more than once) or drive to the person's house or call the person's carrier (like you could talk to them without an account)
7. Apologize
8. (You are still here (even after the rebooting while on one foot?)
9. We will get someone to fix the issue if you hang up.
~~~~a week goes by, so you call and start with step one (or sooner if you noticed they closed the ticket)
This clown show that they call Google Fi support. Google Fi only wants your money without supporting you. If you have problems just switch companies. Like I said before the only reason I talked to someone that was not in India that actually could do anything except for apologize with someone that just credited my account for 6 months and the phone that we bought just so we go away but I had to contact the FCC first. (Google paid me to leave instead of fixing their routing issue).
You're right, I shall go back to my default argument, it's better because .... just because I "feel" it is!!!!!
