> Absent device trees, AOSP as of the Android 16 release is a subset of the utility of Android 15. If one sees the use of AOSP as mainly relying on the now absent functionality, then declaring "AOSP is dead" is not unreasonable.

There are a million devices out there that build on AOSP that are not Google Pixel. This is a Pixel news, not AOSP news.

And every single one of those devices is missing features of AOSP, notably secure boot.

Google pixels were until recently the only phones able to run AOSP with 1:1 feature parity. And now there are none.
