To risk seeming paranoid, I imagine that it would be a lot easier to censor IPhones than to censor Android phones. Apple may be purely motivated by profit at the moment, but there is no reason to assume that a change in leadership or government intervention wouldn't compel them to use their control over their platform to some malicious end. Spying and censorship are two, not unprecedented, possibilities. Open platforms (particularly open-sourced platforms) are more resistant to this kind of problem.
