This is ridiculous. Makes one wonder about the state of OEM development. It's not hard to build a CI pipeline for android. There is no good reason OEMs can't be running test builds of ROMs with security patches within hours, and have QA done in a day or two, or a week max.

That sounds like it costs money and doesn’t net the mfg new sales.

		Trying to do software well at hardware centric companies is hard. Mostly for this reasoning.

Why wonder at all, it sucks and it's security is generally in shambles. Security is rarely very high on their priorities as features/prettiness is what sells their phones.
