I was an Android developer 15+ years ago, and this is exactly what made me move away into backend.

Interesting that it's still like that after so much time!

To be clear, it’s definitely improved some in that time, but there still yet remains plenty of room for further improvement.

Google seems extremely reticent to have anything resembling strong opinions in Android’s API design and so there are still many corners in which well-supported, fully fleshed out “correct” options are absent.
