> Android only really was competitive for a very short window of time

Complete non-sense. iOS and Android are equivalent. Users do not chose Android or iOS because one or the other is better.

It's just brand loyalty, status signalling and ecosystem lock-in that creates enough friction that people don't bother.



Only one of them lets you install unapproved apps.


For now


everything is for now. If you refuse choices because they'll go to shit in the future, then you must refuse all choices.


I agree, I'm on ios now and that's not because it's "better", it's because of everyone else that has an iphone
