You only need one shitty device that has “30 to 50 steps” to say “getting users to switch from Google was complicated, requiring as many as 30 to 50 steps”.

How come that one shitty device has a range of steps rather than a single number of steps?

I would guess that it involves rooting the device or flashing a custom ROM but I don’t know for certain.
