Treble was meant to be the key to making android roms easy to support but now the ROM scene is a fraction of what it was 5 years ago.

The architecture is a cool design, where Linux gets encapsuble in a kind of micro-kernel where classical drivers are "legacy" drivers, and Treble drivers get their own process, can be implemented in C++ or java, talking with the kernel via Android IPC.

However not forcing OEMs to provide updates, even with Project Mainline and GSI now as Treble updates, doesn't change anything from consumer point of view.
