True, but to play devil's advocate, this road leads to Microsoft Word, where each user only needs 1% of the product's features but of course every user has their own unique 1%. The result is a massive product that is resource-insatiable.

Which... leads us back here. Viewed in isolation it is no big deal, much as each feature of Word is no big deal in isolation. But the Android team have to deal with the combination of features running on resource-constrained handsets.
