Gettin some bites fishing with smelly fruit in an android thread?
I looked long enough to notice your graph is for 2010 phones, a bit out of date isn't it?
I have a 2012 Samsung Galaxy nexus. I have root access. I can install what I like.
I have this thing called 'nandroid' on my touchscreen recovery (like a bios) which lets me rewind to the moment I backed up the phone, even if I brick it.
Every single thing gets backed up, the phone is exactly as it was at that point in time. I can rewind my phone to various points of time.
I have the very latest Android running on it.
Not only that, I have a ROM (called "BAMF Paradigm" if you must know) which has loads of features built in. My favourite is ad-blocking. I see no ads, ever.
Smelly fruit products are great for people who like being locked in and playing by the rules. You can have your official update when you get it, woo hoo.
I prefer having control of every aspect of my phone. And I can go out and get 50 fantastic versions of the OS made by very smart and dedicated teams. For free.
/looks like you got a bite after all.
