Maybe we need support for basic shit like file browsing and PDF viewing packaged with the OS? They still manage to make the OS require over 7 gigabytes of disk space, but can’t manage to squeeze this in?
I recently bought a Xiaomi Phone and was shocked how bad their filebrowser is. Full of ads and connections to other file apps like nextcloud are missing.
(I've installed lineageos now.)
Google won't put those things in AOSP because they lose the opportunity to promote their own apps with trackers.
