The only updates for Windows are oriented around extracting more data or as revenue or integrated Microsoft product annoyances. Bugs are ignored for YEARS sometimes, major updates with huge issues get fired off with casual abandon.
Google is less openly hostile, but I get the very strong feeling that the android and pixel teams are about 6 people a piece. Like software in very deep maintenance mode. What bothers me most about this is less "android never receives big changes or major features" but instead "android/pixel has a big list of obvious bugs and has for a VERY long time, and they never get acknowledged ,much less fixed."
The camera app video judder saga is a prime example. (https://reddit.com/comments/1o1i5hi) How the HELL has nobody noticed and fixed this over there? Why is a random community member being forced to deal with this? Honestly pathetic work from Alphabet.
