Thanks. This explains Android. Because the only other explanation would be no dev at Google actually uses it day to day as their phone because it has so many dumb little infuriating things.

Example: Why does my kitchen bluetooth, that I connect to the most, and that I am located nearest to, always go to the bottom of my bluetooth list, meaning I can't select from the quick screen and have to unlock and pull up another screen (when my hands are kitchen dirty)? I consume media on bluetooth the most showering and in the kitchen. The devices used should be 1 and 2, but they never are. EVERYTHING on Android is this 'devs must not actually use this' unfriendly. I still can't use the timer function using voice because if I don't wait for my phone to repeat back all the timer info and I touch something it just blanks out my timer, so I've learned I can't trust it after ruining too much food. These are my two most common use cases for my phone and where it ads value to my life, and both are needlessly annoying on Android causing me to hate the platform because in 2025 these little details should work. Someone at Google must cook things that need timers. Someone at Google must listen to music/audiobooks and have enough devices they spill over to the secondary screen. If feels like Android has zero actual world love/care from the devs or these daily annoyances would bubble up instantly.

I see your Android, I raise you a google home speaker. Please someone help me understand, why is it a freaking pain to use these speakers with bluetooth? Why can I not use them as output for the tv? Is the audio lag just an artificial limitation? I got them assuming they were bluetooth speakers with the Assistant and streaming stuff. But apparently not. Which sick product manager came up with that?
