Well, there’s a specific citation there. And it refers to a bunch of concrete vulns (now hopefully fixed!) in Nexus phones. And yes, Apple deserves their own crap (think GrayKey) but the Android stuff seemed sloppier.

Again, you keep taking things out of context. The Google Pixel is safe. Nothing in the paper you linked shows otherwise.

Right, it's all the non-pixel devices, whose OEMs/ODMs/Operator-partners are not bound to do high-quality/fast-mandatory-update work that Apple can require as part of its brand but based on hgiher ARPU and distantly related stock market cap.

It's within the realm of physical (vs. metaphysical ;-) action but Google chose the "low road" of OEM/ODMs they do not control tightly (as Apple does w/ its equiv), also regarding mandatory updates. Apple has higher ARPU than Android. That pays for some costs (updates, quality).

My point of reference is this: Windows was a horror show and very smart people argued that it was not possible to fix. Then Bill Gates said "fix it" and after much pain and gnashing of teeth, it was done. Is there a reason that a similar fatwa at Google could not succeed?
