You have to remember that the only important metric when guaging OSs is smoothness.

It's obviously not the only important metric and sales show that customers don't really care. But I personally think it's important to fix this issue, so they can get Android out of the smartphone OS ghetto.

I sense your sarcasm but smoothness is really important.

Nobody wants a laggy touch / ui experience

It is, and I agree. But I still think that there are other things which are more important and we've reached the point where it's 'sometimes lags' rather than 'consistently laggy'.

Are you saying Google is lazy?

Nope. Not in the slightest.
I don't think it was their main priority. I mean, it's not like Android doesn't have whiplash fast development. One thing Google is not is complacent.
