I mean, Google are requiring it for all Oreo launch devices, which they all must be after the P release (you can't get certification for Nougat after P releases).

It's at least something that'll work long term.

Still if the updates aren't enforced, all we will get are Oreo devices without updates, Treble or not.

Once you have Treble you can get third-party updates (e.g. LineageOS).

That doesn't work for regular phone users.

Regular phone users don't care, which is why we're in this situation at all.

They do care on iOS.
