I work on an Android app aimed at the North American market.
Android O, P and Q are 88% of our Android devices. By far and large, fragmentation is something I _never_ have to think about.
Jetpack libraries are here to handle it for us, as an abstraction layer between the OS and third party apps.
I would have mentioned that e.g. camera apps are an exception : here hardware fragmentation can be a pain. I was half surprised to see that Google is also working on that one with the camera x library.
There have been cases where the fragmentation bites us; and there might be in the future (although in all fainess my iOS colleagues sometimes have to create specific fixes as well) but the last time I had to scratch my head because of a device specific bug was years ago.
And at the time, I was already finding these articles deeply ridiculous.
