To be honest, a lot of Android stuff I come across can be stuffy about not being connected[1], and not having your GPS on[2], and not signed on more specifically[3].
The Android system itself has a couple[4] of niggles[5], that I have to live with (could just be this maunfacturer-flavour of this version, but also coincidentally cropped up in prior incarnations) and get used to. It's the Future Of (The Internet Of) Things!
Sorry, a bit of an Android moan there, and I know I'm a bit of a skewed-technoluddite on various matters. But if in any way Windows is trying to get into the same vein (they are... having failed to get Windows Mobile sufficiently like their desktop product, they seem to instead have been intent on making their desktop versions more phonelike to meet (more than) half way) then they're removing what I always thought worked. Or maybe they're just going more Mac-like (getting as close as they can to removing Apple's distinctiveness without repeating some of the '80s/'90s accusations of copying GUI philosophies) which, given the similar iOS/OSX linkage and "gotta look more 'swish' and fresh" aesthetic drive, goes the same way and only goes to overshadow the operational changes in the background that are actually more significant/pernicious to someone like me.
But I'm not the masses. The target audience will probably judge it all a good thing, over all. Or be forced to.
[1] There's offline-capable things that will still pause on startup, clearly searching for the home server. Ironically, I've known Apps that tend to crash[1a] easily when connected, but not otherwise.
[1a] Not with a "Close, Wait or Send Feedback[1b]" choice, but full quit-to-home-screen without any acknowledgement that anything went wrong. Or, sometimes, quit-and-load-up-the-last-most-backgrounded-app, for reasons doubtlessly logical to the OS.
[1b] Which, incidentally, is useless to try to send if you get the choice if you're offline. And often the report-writer (assuming you're online to use it) will vanish and cannot be returned to, losing what you wrote and just wanted to check a detail for.
[2] With the choices basically of "Automatically turn on (don't ask me again)" or "Not at this time" (but feel free to get me to choose 'No' on Every. Single. Future. Occasion). Plus I'm happy and determined, when I use GPS, to go without using mobile-reception to improve this (sometimes there is no mobile signal, anyway!), so again I wish it would stop its Location Services requesting the possibility each time. (I'll take the standard ephemera broadcast, cheers!)
[3] No, I don't want a Google Play account, cheers. And, again, the "automatically remember this choice" seems to suggest this will remember the choice to not sign on as "RandomAdjective31415926", but there's no point selecting this because it doesn't.
[4] If I go to turn off my Mobile data, it asks me if I'm sure. It doesn't ask me if I go to turn it on (just does it), and it doesn't ask for turning off (or on) the Wifi link, so it's not merely concerned about connectivity being maintained but billable connectivity.
[5] There's an obsession with linking a payment method to my app-store account. Skippable (repeatedly!), but annoying.
