This is largely untrue.
You would be missing out on:
- Minimum Target SDK Enforcement Blocks installation of apps that target ancient versions of Android and legacy APIs.
- Restricted settings for sideloaded apps
- Null-Cipher rejection and 2G disabling
- Cell Network Surveillence Alerts
- Platform Rust Migration
- Scoped Media
Among many many unpatched Med and Low severity CVEs that don't get backported.

Funny to list a user-hostile change as the first “improvement” that comes to mind.
I guess GP should have said “series of cosmetic changes, and breaks in your UI habbits and a few of your apps deemed too old”.
