Apk support. Saves you having to get LDplayer or something. Would be great if you're developing android aps.

But yeah the juice isn't worth the squeeze in this case. I'm not switching till 10 goes eol and even then there's a strong chance I'll fully switch to linux instead.

That's not even a selling point to an android dev. Android emulators already run, and give a better simulation of a physical device. The only reason it'd be useful for android dev is if you're actually developing an APK for Windows itself.

Also dev on android code on linux, both use linux so the drivers have performance mostly native, better apk support isn't selling if the performance is worse

You literally need a third party application to install an APK. At that point you might as well get an android emulator instead of using this spyware.
