Many impatient novices, it seems. They wish that air-cooled cars all had automatic transmissions. They do not understand open source coding, such as Android, Chromium & Chromium OS.
Even now, the current Android etc technology is very rapidly advancing. Fluid cooling is coming. Instead of old Lithium ion power, the alternatives have yet to reach the factories. Grumblers here do not realize that the software cannot exceed the hardware limits.
Innovators in software & operating systems usually are tested & tried by third parties, not the hardware manufacturers. Many hardware creators now use specialist, independent software specialists, rather than in-house development.
In this regard, open source operating systems are better than closed source, such as Microsoft & Apple. Open source allows & encourages many innovations, many experiments & very many contributors. This explains why Microsoft financially & manpower "invests" in open source manufacturing & distribution.
Each edition of Android etc learns from the trials, experiments & failures in the real world. Some 3rd party innovators are worth incorporating into the main system, others rejected.
Each "new" version of Android etc can be imitated by the older versions. For example, smart keyboards etc can be "emulated" by using the original third party product, before it was imitated into the newest version. Brand & status conscious names often have amazing, unique spam and gimmicks. There are independent system designers who can release in full or part, modified versions of these bloated in-house products. Status conscious novices are not expected to know this.
Unknown to these grumblers, Android 11, like Android 10, will be released weeks before the official Google products are available. Some releases will be released as "Final", even though they really are beta versions. Like the very first release of every new factory product, these will have known & unknown imperfections. Some Made-In-China brands will release hardware, complete with the latest Android, weeks before Google etc release their products.
If ever this planet develops any International Standards Organization with real responsibilities, it might determine what ALPHA & BETA releases are. Are there any responsible engineers anywhere who can finally set a standard on these terms?
ALPHA perhaps has undecided features, easily added or removed. In-house teams decide this. The BETA releases are feature-locked. If the debugging is unable to reach a suitable standard for any feature, this feature may be removed. All BETAS are expected to be buggy, with poor optimizations, and inbuilt bug-detection-recording properties. Sometimes these BETA versions might be able to be turned into FINAL RELEASE standard.
Like the source code published every few days by The Linux Foundation, the FINAL RELEASE will be continually re-released with further bug fixes & better optimizations. Simultaneously the other future versions of the next ALPHA & BETA release will be prepared, as announced here in the OP, "Android-11".
These Android-11 releases are chances for the other operating system creators to release their versions of their next Android-11. Third party application creators (eg "Open Camera") can prepare their products for this new system.
Google etc are on the very frontiers of governance innovation. Management academics here will use these press releases etc as evidence as to how & when Homo Sapiens Sapiens (HSS) rescued itself from closing this anthropocene. Management technologies, like Unix-system design, is very primitive, compared to how it will be in a few years.
