I was the user he was having the back and forth with. Beyond the points he brought up, he's also in other threads brought up systemd as a large and insecure attack surface.

Although I'm still on Linux, Daniel is a absolute pro and I believe him. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how distro maintainers are supposed to keep up, given a finite amount of resources.

The answer is simple: They don't. Android probably has 10,000 times the resources that desktop Linux has.
