Android Security Bulletins already omit Moderate and Low severity patches. They're already dated 2-4 months after the vulnerabilities were disclosed to OEMs and allowed to be shipped. Only Samsung flagships and Pixels ship any of it 'early' on practice. Only GrapheneOS ships the full set 'early'.

The vast majority of vulnerabilities are now being discovered internally by Google for Android and Chrome. These are largely being discovered with AI. The subset deemed Critical severity and an imminent risk will be backported to 16 and 17. Bare minimum security support for older releases is over.
