At this point, Tor should come pre-installed and running at all times as part of Android.

Ugh.

NO!

My internet connection at home is so bad, I limit tor usage. I already run a VPN. Tor through a VPN on a crappy connection is NOT a good combo.

Why are you running tor through a VPN? That is not good and hurts the anonymity protections it provides (and also slows down the connection even more). If your VPN app allows exclusions, exclude your tor only apps.

Android having Tor pre-installed doesn't mean it then has to be used by an App. It would just mean that it's available in a reliable and non-distracting way for any App that needs it.
