Why aren't Boox on Android 12, 18 months after it was released?

What can Android 12 etc. do more than 11?

Android ereaders require more battery, RAM and CPU compared to Linux ereaders, yet are not (eg Boox Leaf 2) considered fast ereaders. For example most Boox devices have >2000mAh batteries, 2+GB RAM and quad core CPUs, most PocketBooks have <2000mAh batteries, 1GB or less (!) RAM and dual core CPUs.

Old components are hardly available anymore and if you want new developments, then you have to take what is available.
And the Linux kernel adaptation is not particularly well suited to that.
