Someone said it well in another thread. It seems more fit to be called a 9.1. not worthless, but also not worth the hype.
(Hi from Reddit, lol)
Let me take the thread a lil more serious and get us back on topic.
I honestly feel like there's too much pressure on all of tech to continue to "wow" every year. If I had my way, hardware design would advance every two years and OS every four, with point releases annually.
It feels like to me that everyone in the tech industry needs more time to think and develop products. 10.0 is fine, but it feels like a rushed build. Trying to do too much and having enough time to think things through much less complete builds.
We can see signs of this by the fact that there are announced features that aren't yet released. 1. Bubbles 2. Live Caption 3. Theming. All coming soon, but not ready upon final release. Screen recording and Desktop Mode, both signs of things Android wants to do but just didn't have time to flesh out for this build.
I think a point release annually allows for more development time without the pressure of a full step up every year.
