Android update? Happens all the time. I'm helping a client upgrade their device to 9 right now.

Why the delay? The chipset manufacturer only recently came out with the BSP for Android 9. So, cost.

Does Microsoft wait on the chipset manufacturer to release drivers for their operating system?

Maybe not. But Microsoft has 100,000+ employees. These chipset manufacturers may have 100+. So there's that.

Microsoft is the operating system vendor as is Google. I’m sure Google can spare a few “smart people” (tm) to better manage the Android ecosystem.
