For context Android 10 was released over a year ago.

This has been explained in the article:

> Qualcomm is no longer supporting the chipset in the Fairphone 2, we have to make Android 9 comply with all of Google’s requirements ourselves

That's why it took longer and why it's not android 10.

Qualcomm is basically the bane of android software upgrades it seems.
