    I mean TTS, “Phone Boosters”, animations and other things I don’t need.

    Not everyone wants to void their warranty or risk making their phones unuseable.

    Someome being able to remotely hijack a device that is running an os built by Google doesn’t make sense. I don’t know exploits that work like this.

      Just because it’s made by Google doesn’t mean literally anything. Google hacks happen literally all the time.

      Just heed the warning and slap new Android on it or an up-to-date alternative OS. Otherwise you’re pretty likely to get gotten

      Google isn’t perfect, no company is, just because a big company has made the OS on your phone that doesn’t mean it’s impenetrable, especially if it’s (over) 5 years old like android 8 and 9 are, security issues that exists in these versions of Android are not going away

      I don’t understand it so nobody does

      Just because you don’t understand what security patches are doesn’t mean your phone can’t be exploited, especially when it’s running an os that’s half a decade old.
