Change for the sake of change. At least it seems to be in a good direction.
I don’t understand why the control panel UI wasn’t modernized instead? Would that really be unfeasible? I think it still might have been less work than to maintain 2 coexistent “settings/control panel” apps and migrate from one to another. Sometimes you have to throw out the old code base and start from scratch. But if you do so shouldn’t you rather distrubute the result when your finished and not in a half-baked compromise-like state?

Lawnchair 2 is no longer under development. The development team always starts to develop a new launcher based on the latest stock launcher every time a new Android version is released (so basically every year). This way the app usually never gets past the alpha or beta builds till they already move on to start from scratch. I don’t understand their strategy.
I use Google Lens and I also have to keep Google app installed. I agree it’s annoying that they just can’t make the apps work standalone. There already is a package that nearly all Google apps dependend on. The package is Google Play Services. Why can’t they implement this into Google Play Services as they do with all the other stuff (quick share, find my phone, location services etc…)?
