    This is not a feature that a device with limited available power to consume needs.

    I don’t disagree, but I’m not sure that that is the long-run game.

    I think that many of us consider Android to be a supplemental platform to a “heavyweight” computing platform, like Linux, MacOS, or Windows.

    My understanding is that an increasing number of younger people don’t know how to use those platforms. Just a smartphone platform.

    And I see attempts to shift towards heavier-weight Android devices.

    It may be that the aim here is to move towards larger Android devices.
