Well I think what he means is that we dropped the explicit support of Android and the example app with offline maps (Mapsforge), see this issue: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/issues/1940
But offline routing should still work on Android. But as you need JDK 1.8 support this will exclude a few older Android versions and devices, I think.

The Rails application that powers OpenStreetMap

Project mention: The current state of map design in OpenStreetMap | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-20

I wouldn't compare osm-website and osm-carto at all. The commit logs are very different.
openstreetmap-website: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/commi... . Numerous commits most days.
openstreetmap-carto: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/commits . So far in 2024; one small regression fixed, one niche bit of tagging added to an existing style, some largely pointless code style tidying. That's it.
