Historical meaning is pretty worthless though. It's like saying CPU's are going backwards because the 386 was a bigger jump. Technology matures eventually and that's not a bad thing.

Android doesn't really work on hardware changes as AOSP doesn't run on a single phone on earth anyways, not even the emulators, this is the goal of the manufacturers.
For the features you can read here for example what Android 16 changed:

no my friend. i mean objectively, not some rose tinted nostalgia glasses. android2.3 allowed so much better control for people who are not installing all sort of crap apps, that the usability was something unimaginable to an android15 user. not to mention we had devices with trackballs, keyboards etc
sadly, given that both manufacturers on this duopoly are highly incentivised to push malicious apps, everything must be throw out for a cat and mouse game of sand boxing
