Re: Y'know maybe....
Most people who have never had to work with the underlying architecture think this, but porting from one android version to another is unbelievably painful. Which equals very expensive. Under the skin Android is a horrible mess, almost incomprehensible to those without years of using it. It changes dramatically from version to version which means experience on one is hardly a help when you need to port your code to the next version.
Of course, maybe as a softie of only 30 years experiences in development I am biased towards code you can actually understand with documentation that makes sense, rather than how shiny it is, but YMMV.
