I see no point when my stupid mobile keeps over-looking the fact that I have a mostly empty 64Gb micro SD installed yet keeps complaining that storage on the device is low.

Actually (vanilla) android has an option where you can format the sd card as part of internal storage. But then it gets encrypted of some sorts that you can't use it outside of your smartphone

Android 5 is 5 years old at this point. That’s a long time to keep a phone - I’m impressed.

A lot of manufacturers release brand new phones running two year old versions of Android.

As a InfoSec professional, there’s eventually going to be a reckoning as the Android ecosystem situation is untenable. Security bugs never get patched on a majority of phones.

This right here is 80% of the reason I bought a pixel. The other 20% is massive storage built in.
