Because Linux makes for a dogshit OS for phones, battery life would be about two hours, Debian already fails to put your laptop to sleep half of the time when you close the lid and you expect it to work well with your phone that you send to sleep every other minute?

Despite some weird architecture choices (binders are some weird ass things to handle), the deep changes to Android make it a tolerable OS for mobile purposes. Using X11? Sure, I love display servers that choke on high DPI and cannot do half the things modern compositors do efficiently.

LiveData is not part of the UI framework but merely a tool to provide updates to be listened to on the main thread. It's also half deprecated and you should probably be using flows instead. Why is it here? Because half the GUI toolkits on Linux are either absolute pieces of shit (GTK lol) or simply not enough.
