Support libraries are no.1 cause of envy in iOS community because they make developers life significantly easier while still serving people running older devices.

I've yet to see anyone belittle that like you did.

I am not belittling. I have used the Support libraries in every Android app I’ve ever worked on. I am just pointing out that like Play Services, and the post we are commenting on, the support libraries are symptoms of a root cause.
