True but who does this? The Android framework isn't built to support that reasonably at all, at least not until Jetpack Compose becomes viable.

Wasn't that the default way of doing things in Android? That is, build your ui's in XML?

By writing views programmatically in Android they mean writing them in Kotlin or Java, not XML. Almost no one does this.

Though Kotlin has an interesting looking DSL for doing that named Anko.
