Those examples are indeed not directly related to politics, but indirectly they are because Android and software in general are. Its not as if there's some kind of 0/1 bit which suddenly lights up: "this is about politics." There's nuance, shades of grey.

Furthermore, we don't always discuss Android's low memory killer's process or malloc chunking; we also discuss iPhone's latest authentication measure FaceID or we discuss the latest inclusions of the Linux kernel. Both of which are more easily related to politics.
