Could you explain me why?

I am not saying that developer should simply make software bug free, I know that this is impossible, I however believe that you could heavily reduce friction point by simply having less code, and reducing the software reliance on the hardware/OS

Monolithic projects like Android prevents it from happening, you have to depend on that huge codebase to run any software, and as every software must follow Android update path, you need to continuously update your hardware
