Google will discontinue official support for Android Lollipop OS, which debuted with Nexus 6.
Also known as Android 5.0, it was widely popular for introducing Material You to Android devices.
The said OS will no longer receive Google Play Updates, citing that less than one percent of active devices are running it.

This headline is absolutely atrocious. It makes it sound like Android Lollipop itself was still being supported, but that support ended around 7 years ago.

It should be "Google Play services updates for Android Lollipop end"
