At least when I used Android (quite a while ago), a lot of widgets were implemented poorly and led to impeded performance and rapid battery depletion, as well as confusing or cluttered interfaces because there was no consistency among the various implementations. Traditionally, Apple has simply not provided features that end up with downsides like this. Although iOS is less customizable, I tend to find that I actually prefer this restriction because I don't waste my time being bothered by things I could fix if only I could get the settings right. So I hope the new iOS Widgets strike the right balance of customizable, but not too customizable, and with a uniform implementation that prevents the Android problems I mentioned.
