It really has, Android actually has privacy controls now which they definitely didn't in 2013. Developers can't request your location 24/7 without you even being aware of it like they could 10 years ago.
The point of the slides was Google, not third party developers. I feel things have gotten worst. Google controls not only the device itself, but also most people’s browser and tools when they decide to use something else.
