Verschlimmbesserung
Is newer better?
Android 9 and Android 10 are noticeably leakier. Software that runs smoothly for weeks on Android 8, will slow to a crawl after a day on Android 9 and 10. Not heap memory leaks I think, more like graphics memory leaks. Or perhaps dodgy garbage compactor optimization that only work in some scenarios at the expense of other scenarios.... whatever it is, it's a PITA.
Start at bootup? Works on Android 8, fails on Android 10, even if you go into Battery and set autolaunch it won't autolaunch power intensive apps. This is vanilla 10 we're talking about, its not an OEM problem.
Imagine the fun of running a large cluster of these, that use-to run for months happily, and now need restarted after a day. You can't even use the "power on Power off scheduler" because the software needs to be manually started after the power on because autolaunch doesn't work now.
The Germans have a word for it, Verschlimmbesserung. My word for it, is far less suitable for public consumption.
