Ok so if Google can’t really kill Android, then why are people upset or concerned about this seven year promise?
Also since Google has “Seven years of OS, Security and feature drop updates” listed as part of the specs of the 8 Pro, they have to actually ship seven years of OS (Android, you can’t switch this to something else or they can be sued, and I’m sure Google wouldn’t want to pay these fines).
So then they are not patching security issues? Yeah I don’t think that will go over too well, specifically with the EU. It may not be a quick and easy process, but statements like this have consequences.
No, because AOSP is open source. Samsung for example has been doing far more for android development than Google have.
Google can’t really kill Android because it’s open source and every OEM has their own fork of it.

So keep being upset over nothing?
Well they could definitely drop the updates in that time, that’s why people are concerned.
