Google is preparing to fully remove support for non-A/B updates from Android, leaving A/B updates as the only officially supported OTA update mechanism moving forward.
However, this won't stop certain device makers from continuing to use non-A/B as they can either use their own implementation or just revert Google's changes. Google would need to actually mandate the use of A/B through the CDD or GMS licensing, which they've tried to do but ended up reneging.
Good. Hopefully, samsung smartphones can enjoy this QOL improvement.
My last couple phones have been Samsungs (need MDM support for work) and I had no idea this even existed, let alone that everyone else has it already.
