They can still ship play services and their own apps at a faster cadence.

I meant OEMs rushing the gun on new features that aren't fully baked. That probably does add support burden. (I don't know if it happens anymore but it used to be a problem on the OEM forks)

They push half-baked stuff all the time anyway, I don't think this meaningfully affects that frequency.

Well, now they can only ship half baked stuff twice a year.

They should at least be shipping monthly updates with the months security updates. Well some months have not had any since Google is now trying to batch them to be quarterly because OEMs couldn't keep up with monthly security fixes.
