As someone who’s been writing both iOS and Android apps for almost a decade now. This made me chuckle, the sheer absurdity of Android being the standard when Google can’t even ensure mass adoption for their latest releases is just too ironic.
They can't ensure mass-adoption because manufacturers modify the Android source code... for Linux computers, there's no need for that level of modification because the competition isn't fierce there. Sure there's different distros for Linux, but an Android layer or OS to run Android apps wouldn't be much different.
Ensuring that people are using the latest version might become easier if the framework becomes unbundled from the OS. I bet every Chromebook and Chromecast is using the latest Android version.
