As long as AOSP and its various flavors continue to be viable alternatives, Android is still better than Apple. If you run Lineage or Graphene, I'm sure you can still "sideload" just fine.

I tried graphene, and came to the conclusion that it’s not a viable alternative to iOS.

1) Apps like uber, lyft, ev charging and parkmobile would crash with null pointer exceptions some weeks but not others, so for the use cases that force me to carry a phone, it doesn’t work.

2) There isn’t a modern e2e sync ecosystem, and backup is completely broken.

3) The camera sort of worked out of the box (pixel pro 6), but to get all the modes, I had to install sandboxed google play services, which halved the standby battery life.

Has this changed in the last 3-4 years?
