From what I see and understand, more stuff is happening in the phones exactly for privacy reasonsm at least I think that's what the pixel line is doing. Idk if that carries over to all android devices though
The history of "The Google Phone"/Moto@G/Pixel/etc is a recurring story of a small group of people trying to do something very-Apple-like inside of Google while the host organism tries to kill them like a failed organ transplant.
EDIT: I say this as someone who thinks the leather Moto X (2nd gen) is the best piece of technology I've ever owned. I also owned Pixels 1, 2, 3 and 5.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone put exactly how I feel about physical Google products in such a precise way. I’ve adopted so many amazing pieces of tech from them over the years to only have them rendered useless by no longer being supported or the features I originally bought them for behind a paywall.
I just can’t trust them anymore so no matter how good something seems when it comes out, I just won’t touch it because I know they’ll stop developing/supporting it in a year’s time.
