This is Why the Android 15 Update Isn't So Important

A new Android version used to mean a long list of new system features, but that's not really how it works anymore, and it's due to several reasons.

Partly, the pace of development itself is slower, and even though there are new standards to incorporate support for in the system and similar, new features are not added at nearly the same rate as ten years ago. This is partly because Google has made the system more modular, which means that new features can be released separately in so-called feature drops, without necessarily requiring the latest version of Android. These can now come several times a year and not necessarily in conjunction with the release of the next Android version. At the same time, the mobile manufacturers themselves are responsible for a large part of the new features released, in the form of updates to the user interface. These are often released in conjunction with a new Android version, so a new system update can mean new features for you without them necessarily coming from Google.

Most of what is new with Android 15 is therefore things under the hood that the user does not notice much but can be important for hardware and app developers. Examples of minor improvements include support for satellite communication, clearer animation when you choose to go back with swipe gestures, and the ability to archive apps that are not installed from the Play Store.
