On the other hand, many parts of Android, including the default system WebView, are updated from the Play Store like regular apps, and don't need a full OS update.

But the cloud thing and the container thing actually happened. Not 100%, but it is basically the standard these days.
Of the things you mentioned, only crypto is mostly bullshit tech with no actual use.
So are you or are you not implying that this would be quietly enabled without explicitly prompting the user?
Or you could just turn the feature off. Or just not enable it in the first place, as it's possibly illegal to do this without showing an allow/disallow prompt at least - so just don't click allow. Just saying.
I guess the ones they stopped just weren't covert enough.
If users have the "I can always upgrade later" option, that screws with the purchases of the higher end models "just in case I need it in the future".
That's trivial to filter if you just look at how much time has passed between posting and editing. Reddit comments are only very rarely updated after more than a day.
Another advantage is that it doesn't force people to initially buy the higher version because "what if I end up needing it in the future" (like what Apple forces you to do with non-upgradable storage), even if you never do. It lets you buy the cheaper version for now, with the possibility to change your mind later.
Which is exactly like the "camera collabs" that phone makers sometimes do that end up being nothing more than marketing gimmicks.
Like the OnePlus camera "by Hasselblad" that is quality wise the same as any other smartphone camera in that price category.
Shouldn't AI be good at detecting and flagging ads like these?
With enough technological advances, they might be able to just switch to salt water.
It's silly to imagine all these "way out there" scenarios without also imagining progress in other areas.
There used to be a "loophole", where if you changed to a different plan, it restarted the 7 day period during which you could cancel with no fee. Not sure if they ever changed that though.
