    yes there’s few things i can think of

    • centralized. One vulnerability exposes billions of devices
    • closed source. cannot be audited easily. so bugs remain undiscovered and backdoors can be built in
    • you can’t verify android software with a hash. so infected versions can be selectively pushed to particular people.
    • monopoly. manufacturers are barred my Google from making/selling non android phones and probably lots of other contributors. all of the above could be fixed with laws, or good regulation.
