Android is annoying but we still need it

Android has become the major player of all mobile operating systems with around 70% users base, and it can not only be used on mobile but also desktop and other devices like TV and router etc., but on and off I find it annoying. My phone runs on Android 13, there are added features as well as added annoyance ! say for example 2 things, the 'open by default' and hotspot timeout.
I got a Nokia XR20, it has a not very good camera, I found it over-exposed when shooting at close range with flash, and the image was too cool and lacked color saturation, so I installed other camera apps to try. I used hotkey to quick start the camera, but I couldn't change the default, I can do it on previous versions. I then disabled the stock camera but I can't set another as default there's no such option, without the stock camera the hotkey won't do a thing at all.
The other thing is the hotspot timeout, there used to be a user settable timeout to turn it off when there was no activity at preset time, but there is no such option on V13, and the default is set too short like 1 min.
I don't see Android has improved to the stage of real user friendliness, but we still need it for most everyday tasks, what do you think about it ?
