Meanwhile. Google STILL hasn't updated their Android Developer Dashboard since Oct 26th, 2018. Even back then Pie hadn't hit enough users to get the minimum 0.1% share.
Curious minds want to know why Google stopped updating this page.
Whataboutism at it's finest. Why would you care? Can't you just be happy that iOS version uptake is very good, and that's the OS you use?
FWIW about 7 weeks or so after the latest Android version (Pie) was released last August over 75% of Google Pixel owners had already updated to it which is pretty darn impressive don't you think?
Pixels are the only devices that Google themselves can directly offer OS updates to of course. All the others are simply licensees, some of them quite speedy with updates but many others not so much.
Talk about moving the goalposts for the knockoffs!!
Android is a phone manufacturer when comparing to iPhone sales. Android is software when complaining about all the malware it carries (not the manufacturers fault). Android is a single phone when comparing specs/innovation to iPhone. Only Pixel counts when comparing OS updates.
Android is always "evolving". lol
Your first mistake: Android is NOT a phone manufacturer. Mistake #2: Claiming "move the goalposts" to the wrong person. Adding "whaddabout Android" to the discussion serves no good purpose in the first place does it? Apples to Oranges, yeah they're both fruit.
Just as Apple the company is both the OS provider and "manufacturer" of iPhones, Google the company is both the OS provider and "manufacturer" of Pixels. Anyone else would be a licensee or AOSP user and dance to their own music.
Um no, I'm explaining the logic of Apple haters. They compare all iWannabes to iPhone when it comes to sales. When you bring up the software problem they morph android again and say "well that's not [insert one of hundreds of manufacturers here]s fault. That's androids fault."
Whaddabout android is fun because it pisses you off with truth.
No one (even those who claim android is better) gives a turd about Pixel, adding to the irony.
Huh? Why would it "piss me off"? I'm not Google, don't develop for Android, have no stock ownership in any Android-related company, and quite happy with my choice of phone, probably at least as happy as you are with yours. Your not speaking any truth, just offering an opinion tht doesn't change anything for me. Did my opinion change something for you? Nope, you still appear to be "pissed off" that whaddaboutism is a fallacy rather than than the ideology you promote it as.

What you describe is not "morphing." That's just the way it is. How else WOULD one compare Android to Apple? It's no different than comparing Macs to Windows machines. Some of the differences are inherent to the operating system, some depend on the hardware. In certain discussions, like about how market share influences developments, the platform is the salient point so we refer to Android or Windows. In that context the role of individual brands isn't really relevant. Other conversations, like about a particular hardware feature, may be relevant only to a particular brand.
There's nothing deceptive or disingenuous about separating discussion of the OS from specific phones. In fact, it's impossible not to.
