I abandoned iOS when Apple made the decision to limit the programming languages you could use to write apps in (the infamous "section 3.3.1" change in 2010 that was quickly backtracked). That was probably the high water mark for control over the platform. Since then they have opened up the platform in various way, such as adding app extensions in 2014, but the rate is excruciatingly slow. Here it is 2020 and Apple is still "considering" whether to allow users to select a default web browser or mail client? Obviously this hasn't hurt them in the market, but personally I have no interest in a computing platform that works against its users like this.
