I'm sorry. I'm pretty deaf when I have to talk through a text only forum. As someone who works in the IT industry, I have to understand the balance between not installing updates and the risks they come with, and installing updates but understanding the changes they make. I hate what the software industry does when design takes preference over functional software, but there's nothing I can do about it besides contribute to the free and open source software community that helps to develop Android. It's scary to know that people won't install my code that helps to stop a malicious actor from stealing one's photos or credit card info, over a designer's choice.

If you want another Internet outage like on Friday, which was caused by un-updated and poorly secured devices including cell phones, be my guest. I've heard you. It keeps me employed defending networks against stuff like that.
