You're right. It was never designed as a mobile OS with a soft keyboard. Hell, it's 2020 and rotating the device still doesn't work as it should.

  > rotating the device still doesn't work as it should. What exactly is the issue?! Been using Android for about a decade now and can rotate the device just fine.

    Yeah so it works, but from a developer perspective it's about 10x more complicated than iOS. It's also a source of bugs and crashes because of how Android manages the state change.

    For me, a lot of apps lose various state, e.g. text written in input fields, when rotating.

      No wonder, rotating the phone restarts the app and it is the developer's job to restore it somehow.
