Times have changed. I used to be excited 10 years ago when new android versions came out with cool new features, often better performance, and a lot of gimmicks that sometimes were useful.
Now it is: “Oh I wonder what feature they are taking away this time, what freedom they are stepping on now, what they have enshittified now, and how they are adding additional surveillance to sell to Palantir…”
And what they advertise is literally “Location Indicator is slightly darker”. “Settings menu had very slight spacing change” and “brightness icon is mirrored”
Somebody is getting a promotion for those extremely minor changes
