My thoughts exactly. I have two apps out on Google Play. They are full featured, stable, and people still like them. I just want them to to continue to work. But they don't. I need to constantly take away from my time developing new apps to fix my newly broken old apps. How many times, Google, are you going to try to "fix" the problem of apps draining battery in the background? It never seems to end.

On the flip side, my first programs that I wrote for myself in the 90's still run. Yeah, I know that DOS is emulated now, but MS made them still work, and I didn't even have to re-compile.

I have this conspiracy theory that Google is purposefully trying to make things difficult to get rid of developers that don't have a lot of resources.
