It was unfortunately obvious that the writer had insufficient tech chops when
use the phrase

"a post-API programming model"

But pressing on how somehow manages to blame the lack of updates to android
phones on the modularity of the Linux kernel. The joke of course being that
linux is monolithic and googles new OS is a microkernel ergo more modular.

The quote is "...however. I also have to imagine the Android update problem (a
symptom of Linux’s modularity) will at last be solved by Andromeda"

Its hilarious that he can somehow defying all sanity ascribe androids update
issue to an imagined defect in Linux. Android phones don't get updated because
for the manufacturers ensuring their pile of hacks works with a newer version
of android would represent a non trivial amount of work for the oem whom
already has your money. The only way they can get more of your money is to
sell you a new phone which they hope to do between 1-2 years from now.

In short offering an update for your current hardware would simultaneously
annoy some users who fear change, add little to those who plan to upgrade to a
new model anyway, decrease the chance that a minority would upgrade, and cost
them money to implement.

Its not merely not a flaw in the underlying linux kernel its not a technical
issue at all.

The thing is, this only works on countries similar to US where most people are
on contracts.

In the rest of the world, where people are on pre-paid, we use our phones
until they either die or get stolen, which is way more than just 1-2 years.

Bump it to 3-4 years then. Bloated manufacturer updates combine with bloat in
most popular applications and the regular web bloat to make the phone unusably
slow after few years.
