Why does android suck?

[Android Question]

I mean, from the developer perspective.
Is it because google is good at advertising but not that good at API design?
For instance, when you see something in the API that says - don't use this API because it's full of bugs (I sh*t you not, check out the docs for DefaultHttpClient), it makes you wonder who in the world is behind the design of the Android API & SDKs.
Students?
Fresh graduates?
What's going on in there?

Oh, you mean like the old IBM Fortran compiler error "The error is not with your code, this is a compiler error"?

Any code longer than 10 lines has bugs. Fixing a bug almost always introduces other bugs - you can't do just one thing.

"Other companies" just delete the API. Then you don't know there's a buggy API, so you can't use it.
