- it's disabled by default, and the OEMs have to enable it and prepare the Data App. Time only will tell, but I don't think that many OEMs will use this.

Android 8.1 added something similar; see
<https://source.android.com/devices/tech/config/timezone-rules>. Like
iOS, the update mechanism requires a device restart, which is a real
pain for users; unlike iOS, it requires coordination between Google and
OEMs, a pain for the OEMs.
Red Hat, Ubuntu, etc. do not require reboots on tzdata updates, though
there is a downside: currently-running processes that have loaded some
tzdata will cache it by default, so you may need to restart the processes.
