Article refrains from drawing conclusions, instead presenting the data. Android is doing better at moving users to newer versions, but the overwhelming majority of users don't have the current Android OS version nor the previous version, combined.

Okay, can these percentages be aligned to the number of Android devices in active use that support the OS?

Because I would hazard a guess that some 70% of people do not have an android phone that even supports updating to the new OS.

I think that's the point of what these statistics mean. This is an indictment on manufacturers not pushing the latest OS updates more than people not accepting the latest OS updates when they're available.
