I'm intrigued to see that Google has quantified that new code is generally buggier and less secure than code that has existed in your codebase for longer: https://security.googleblog.com/2024/09/eliminating-memory-safety-vulnerabilities-Android.html

I've had a new Linux laptop for several weeks and only just realised that I didn't have `man` installed! Google is my default the vast majority of the time, and this seems to confirm it.

The games console market is fascinating: there's incentive to *not* provide upgraded models. You want the guarantee that a game for $X just works on any $X purchased. E.g. the Switch OLED has a bigger screen, and a better CPU than the original, but it's downclocked to match the original Switch's CPU.
