I have a very similar experience. When I bought an EV I wanted to turn on Google Maps' energy efficient routing feature (announced in 2021 at https://blog.google/products/maps/3-new-ways-navigate-more-s...) but the setting is simply not present. After an hour of wasted time debugging, I had to uninstall and reinstall the app to get the setting to show up.
I personally much prefer Apple's approach where generally features are identified by specific version numbers. If you have the version or newer, you have it. Certainly a bit more difficult to do capacity planning for the backend engineers but absolutely worthwhile for users.
