Android isn’t at fault here. Get a non-Google version of Android and a phone runs faster, with significantly less battery consumption.
Google services really screw the pooch, as they say. Lineage/DivestOS and Graphene are lightning fast on my 2018 flagship. I get a day out of it now, (with it’s old battery) , when it was new I got half a day…at best. Google Services consume upward of 8% per hour, depending on installed apps.
It’s all a result of Android being a monolithic OS. I’d bet when Google bought Android (around 2000, it was still fresh), this was a “kkown issue” and Google decided they just needed to get it out there, rather than develop a standard hardware interface layer.
I’m sure they also considered the advantage to them (and vendors) in being able to force dependence on those drivers.

Well, fuck Google.

That’s a good point, unfortunately.
