You got some good points there. Only problem is that google doesn't consider us Android users as customers, we're just eyeballs so that the real customers, Proctor Gamble, Nike etc can shove commercials at us. Google only cares about security in as much as they do not want it to be so bad that it stops more eyeballs from buying more ad-viewers-and-data-collecting-devices.
Not that this precludes them from working more on the security issues. I'm certain that they are. I am also certain that if we actually were the real customers they would be working a lot harder at it.
