true, what really is "stock android" anyways? if one really nitpicks, even pixel phones has "strayed" away from stock android and UI. Main thing is still the response/speed and consistant fast updates that stock-ish android provide. Oneplus kinda forgotten what made it popular in the 1st place which was that, and when i was still having Realme GT2 Pro, even that phone is getting more frequent updates and bugfixes as compared to FLAGSHIP phones. That is what really pissed people off, is that they lost focus of what they were popular for in the 1st place. Nowadays even Samsung phones get more security+android updates, since their OS is already considered stable enough for daily use, with their large customer user base.
