Hey Google, stop using me as a lab rat for your dark mode A/B testing

Rant incoming:

Two weeks ago I was delighted to find that my Google app has finally joined the dark mode club. The joy didn't last long though: After two days dark mode was gone again, so I went ahead and installed the latest beta. First it was still glaring white, but after a day or so I was back on the dark side. This lasted for about one and a half weeks. Today I woke up with a glaring white Google app again.

Seriously Google, how is that considered good user experience?

The same happened ...

Pixel 4 render in ‘Oh So Orange’ hints at a less vibrant color than expected

" For many, the less punchy color could be a good thing, but it could also be seen as a bit of a disappointment for some."

Project Mainline only for phones that ship with Android 10?

https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/4/20848251/android-10-review-dark-theme-focus-mode-gestures

The Android 10 review on Verge mentions towards the bottom "Unfortunately, Project Mainline will only be available on phones that ship with Android 10 by default, not on those that upgrade to it.".
