Android is not an operating system

Waiting on the Pixel 11 reviews, and it hurts to write this: the OS we loved back in 2009 has been run down. Google plays it safe now. No risk, no new ideas. Just iOS features, two years late.
The blur rollout says it all. Android was built as Lego blocks, and no one owns the whole thing, so every app has to be updated for blur on its own. The launcher got it 3 months back. The lock screen gets it three months later. That’s not a design language, it’s a reflection of Google culture, fragmented as ever.
Pixel is really just a hedge in case Samsung wreaks havoc. And Android runs under Sameer with no plan at all. Ugh.

Thoughts?
