I agree with the first comment, but Android is "not fine".

The lack of a sane updating model is a real security problem.

Yeah, Android's not fine. The business model, the weak full disk encryption, inability to set strong FDE password separate from your pin, centralization around Google Play Services, moving AOSP into GAPPS iteratively, forced obsolecense via carriers/hardware producers

Long way to go.
