I honestly agree with all mentioned.

I’m just mainly upset at Google for providing no replacement for the memory management situation, since apps like Syncthing and Element can’t reopen themselves once killed by the system, and we as users won’t have any visibility of that when it happens. The persistent notifications aren’t ideal to begin with, honestly would have preferred if they let us β€œpin” activities instead - or some other approach that has a similar weight compared to persistent notifications

It’s a bit unfair to remove this, enabling Android to close these apps early whenever there’s some memory pressure, due to them not showing anything to the user. With the only documented solution being sending a notification via Google Cloud Messaging to indirectly reopen the app on the device

The background battery usage situation is perfect with the confirmation prompt IMO, but really wish Google would have considered the full app lifecycle instead of just the background battery usage perspective.
