What adults will notice, nospam, is the fact remains a fact that only iOS
uses a decidedly primitive stone-age monolithic release update mechanism.

Earlier this year, researchers were frustrated by Apple not fixing huge
bugs so they published the vulnerabilities and then it _still_ took Apple
weeks to scramble to create an entirely new iOS release which left billions
of users with _known_ (hence actively exploited!) holes for a long time!
