I think Hanlon's razor applies. This sort of shoddy work was pretty common in early Android phones, as companies with little software experience adapted to being OS vendors.

Here's another similar in concept (though much worse) one from Samsung: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2012-6422

> The kernel in Samsung Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note 2, MEIZU MX, and possibly other Android devices, when running an Exynos 4210 or 4412 processor, uses weak permissions (0666) for /dev/exynos-mem, which allows attackers to read or write arbitrary physical memory and gain privileges via a crafted application, as demonstrated by ExynosAbuse.
