In addition, the number of mobile phones sold has also decreased in recent months, reducing the user base of modern phones.

Google publishes the rating without a certain frequency and a few years ago began to disclose this data only to developers. The company’s goal is to provide app creators with detailed information about which versions are still popular and therefore which games and tools should be supported. In addition, the company always emphasizes that using older operating systems is not ideal, as these platforms no longer receive performance optimizations or security updates from new vulnerabilities.
