How can one expect anything for free from a mega corporation handling a product? The "free" software and tools are for indirectly a way for the community to improve the thing for them, however android is a product, which has incentives to be closed source. Especially since the Chinese ROMs era where there exist forks which are too far away from base android already (which will benefit from improvements of android but will not give back the benefits they have in their closed-source flavors)

yes it is like the a problem because someone you need to. The industry still doesn't understand the concept of delegation of authority and the fundamental role it plays in everyday life.

It also doesn't understand the idea of people making mistakes and the need to have robust recovery paths either.
