Each Android update Google make changes that have caused havoc. For example, Android 4.2 stopped 3rd party apps from automating aeroplane mode unless rooted which voids warranty and is a pain and security risk; Android 5 took away the automation of cache cleaning and mobile data toggles, leaving users with either big data bills or having to remember to turn it off and devices with full storage. Skip on until now, we have Android 9 pie and 10 Q, which are totally killing automation apps and clipboard manager which millions of people found useful in previous versions.

Google makes these changes in the name of security and privacy, what they do not tell you is that they are tracking your every move even after you disable telemetry to begin with.

Google has the power to revert these changes as make users like me happy again. These changes are making it more and more difficult for developers to add new features as they are having to remove features or find a workaround, Google is messing with peoples' livelihoods, especially when developers get 1 star reviews on the play store for things that they cannot control, bad reviews mean that the developers will be demotivated at the very least, but it is causing loss of money and it has to end.
