    My four year old low-end test device running Android had its assistant switched out from Google Assistant to Gemini. I was very surprised since I’d assumed that the vendor had stopped supporting it since it was so cheap, but it updated anyway.

      Google Play is separate from Android. Google likely updates it through that route, rather than relying on manufacturers.
