The fact that the report doesn't even mention that there people like me that don't deserve updates, just because we aren't willing to pay over 500 € is what triggered me off.

The dasboard tracks versions in the wild, not the amount of users that were blessed with an update.

The report is presented in such a way, as if during 2016 the OEMs had a change of heart and now all provide updates.

Be careful what you wish for, my middle tier Motorola phone got an update a couple of weeks ago and has been crashing several times daily ever since. I'm not convinced their patching schedule is enough to make a real difference anyway.
