I was surprised, but at the same time not at all surprised, to find out that they not only reinvent Android UI libraries yearly, but also much lower level parts of their software.
(I build Android apps since 2011. I stopped following their updates since around 10 years ago. I still write Java, albeit modern versions, and use XML views. My apps are tiny and launch instantly. I'm also very controversial among the Android developer community.)
