Samsung pushing suspicious update of the Notification app through Play Store

I just went to the play store to manually update my apps, as I occasionally do, and noticed one I hadn't seen before.

First image shows it's an update to Notification, which is fine in itself, but there is no information beyond that.

Second image is of the incredibly suspicious screenshot that they added with the app.

[Many reviews](https://i.imgur.com/5DjOeWJ.jpg) seem to share the concern for how lazily samsung pushed this u...

Really wish the Android scene wasn't saturated with the same design

The only top contending UI these days are either stock android or Samsungs skin, disregarding the Chinese market with their iOS lookalikes. Custom roms all look exactly the same, changing how the battery icon looks between portrait or circle or changing the clock positions shouldn't be called "customization rich".

Could Google integrate Android into a Stadia-like clouded based OS?

If they can run AAA noscripts and have a seemless interaction, why not basic chrome/windows/android programs and apps? I would love to be able to access any of my content, not just games, on any compatible interface. All you would technically need for a mobile device is a 4K display, a good battery, and wifi/data connection. And a Chromecast (or similar) connectable device. Everything is else is cloud based. Personally it would be an ideal solution....
