This is disappointing. I still sometimes use a very old Android tablet with Android 2.3 when I don't have access to my newer tablets which I store outside of my bedroom. But, I mostly use the Android 2.3 Tablet for watching YouTube videos on the YouTube App, and sometimes use a web browser to read stuff online.
I think Google Abandoning Android 2.3 will mostly affect very poorer people who use an older prepaid smartphone for making calls, text, and sometimes using the YouTube App.
