My Android has forced updates. I have to put my phone in airplane mode before each reboot and kill the process to prevent it. Chrome has forced updates. A lot of things have forced updates these days, and nobody bats an eye about it. Microsoft does it, everyone loses their minds.
And 'forced' is a stretch anyways, how to block it is well documented, and was months in advance. And you can revert, something Google and others will not let you do.
I also deleted all the Google apps I could find on my Android phone, and I avoid storing any of my personal data on it, because Google seems to believe it's their machine, not mine. I'd use some other mobile OS if I had any choice in the matter.
I have an Android 4.4 phone, Verizon/Google is trying to force my phone to install Android 5.1, a full version update to a version widely regarded as a lemon.
I paid for my phone. I paid for my Windows license. I paid a lot more for my phone, which Android is trying to forcibly update without my consent to a version which will cripple my phone's functionality substantially.
