This is more PR than they would get with an actual release. Does anyone care about new adroid updates anymore? I haven't followed anything since lollipop

Millions out of billions.

As an Android developer I do, because every update breaks something important (11 will break storage in many apps).

They broke storage starting at Android 4, I think... Google doesn't like SD cards.

Not only that, it gives the developers some breathing-room I'd guess.

Yes it is PR strategy but in every new android version, Google give us something new compare to older version.
