Is using Android 9 a major reason to prefer the Nova 2 to Nova Pro? Does Likebook do any better?

I suspect that Android 9, in and of itself, wouldn't really affect my experience of the Nova Pro all that greatly. It is a great device and I am very happy with it which is why I'm not rushing to buy the new Nova 2 even though it has some other feateures such as OTG capabilities which I would like.
However, from what I have read, Android 9 is more secure than Android 6. That might impact some users. My Nova Pro is so rarely connected to the internet that that is not a significant issue.
Also, from what I have read, some apps won't run on older versions of Android. So if you require a certain app and it won't run on your device because it has an older OS, that would impact you. Fortunately, the apps which I mainly use still work with Android 6. However, I still have some Android 4 tablets which are perfectly functional but which will not work with some of the apps which I now consider essential. So having a modern OS could be a very real concern for some people.
