Hilarious, Android developers telling other people their software is unsafe.

The most dangerous software is one you can never update. Android leads the tivoization of devices globally.

They update android but understand the problem Linux faces as manufacturers and carriers don't update the android devices. Many android vulnerabilities come through because of the Linux stack so fixing that would fix a good portion of Android future vulnerabilities

Most bugs in Android 4.4 are not fixed. That is just three years old branch. Upgrading to latest 7.x is not an option for everyone

Linux has LTS support for 15 years. WinXP was supported for 13 years.
