Yeah, as somebody with an ever growing pile of apps that stop working every time I upgrade my phone, I wouldn't count on it.

If somebody doesn't take it over and rebuild for every pointless Android change, it will eventually disappear.

I still have apps that I made to work on android 6, working just fine. Android has extremely good backwards compatibility.

The reason tachiyomis plug-ins would stop working is that the sources they pull content from keep blocking them, and there wouldn't be anyone to come up with new workarounds.

Android itself hasn't changed that much unless your app is overly reliant on old app permissions. Which tachiyomi isn't.
