1. I think it makes a difference if Face ID can only be tricked with a professionally created mask vs a photo my neighbor took to unlock a phone. It might not make that much difference in the real world, but I like to use a product that was well-thought through instead of a copycat gimmick. 2. While Android indeed now gives you okayish controls over privacy settings, this wasn’t the case for many years. In addition, if you set up your device, just count how often you have to tap no/disable/deny vs on iOS. After the third pop up, most people don’t care anymore. Even the damn keyboard calls home. In case of Samsung, you sometimes can’t use specific features if you don’t agree to everything. Huawei is similar. 3. I don’t trust free apps that have no reasonable pricing model. Because they still have to make money (same is true for iOS apps). Look, I don’t want to convince anyone. I say: Android gives me an odd feeling whereas iOS doesn’t so much (although I don’t use iCloud files or photos).

1) Sure it depends on where your priorities are. If you really need that security, you probably just won't use either the finger printer nor the FaceID and just type a password. But let's be honest here: the feature is being liked/used as a fast login bypass rather then for security reasons. I don't use it at all. Neither on the IPhone nor on my private Android. 2) Well yeah, many years ago many thing where crap. I don't understand your count excample. I have to tap is as many times as I want/many apps I have. You have to do the same for iOS for the few options you get there. 3) I don't know about Samsung or Huawei because I don't have one. I can buy my hardware from a producer I trust or like. Did you ever ask yourself where that "odd feeling" actually come from? Because complaining about "too many options" (same done above by a different commenter) seems quite odd to me.
