I agree. Besides I think the only people really concerned about fragmentation are people not using Android.
I've noticed this also.
Yes, but is that not a ridiculously obvious statement?
People for whom guaranteed OS updates and support are major concerns won't buy Android devices, right?
People who care about a consistent and reliable user experience, without hassle or fuss, they won't buy Android devices either, right?
People who care about the above might not even be aware of the concept of fragmentation, but nevertheless, they are making purchasing choices based on fragmentation related criteria.
On the other hand, people who are enticed by hardware specs are at least partially in favour of fragmentation. In the very least they favour hardware fragmentation, because it's impossible to win the specs race on a platform that strives to keep the hardware base as homogenous (a.k.a standardized) as possible, as do iOS and WP.
CLARIFIED:
Your statement makes it sound like people with Android devices ignore fragmentation, and those with other devices care about it only for the sake of being able to criticize. That may be true some of the time, but generally you are reversing cause and effect. It's not the device a person owns that determines whether they care about fragmentation, but a persons concern over fragmentation (or fragmentation related affects) that determines what they purchase.
