A simple OTA update that totals out the interface is not going to be a welcome thing unless your target audience is expecting the change. Microsoft and Apple spend a lot of money and generate a lot of hype for their new OS changes. Google isn't really doing that expect in the tech community. Also, Microsoft (PC, trying on mobile) and Apple (PC and mobile) are the voice for the devices. Google is still in the OEM supplier stage and doesn't have the reach to the consumer level.

Google does reach the consumer with their Android apps, such as Gmail and Play (the app and entertainment store).

Not with their OS release for Andriod.
