I'm not trying to go inside Android vs iOS rabbit hole, as it's common knowledge that android's default privacy features pale in comparison to iOS. But in Android you can leverage the trust of an individual app publisher as well and not forced to 'trust the manufacturer'. e.g. Tasker is trusted, it can automate workflows unimaginable in an iOS ecosystem and when Google's API changes broke some of its features; Google listened to the community and whitelisted it. Don't trust default messaging app? Let Signal handle messages. If there's an SMS based exploit, rest assured Signal update to patch that would arrive faster than android update. Got 7 year old android device, which hasn't received any system updates in say (cough) 7 years? But you only use it for web browsing, you can still use latest Firefox for android(with its own engine). Which will support latest PWA API. This can go on and on without rooting android; none of these would be possible in iOS at least not until jailbreak(which compromises security akin to rooting) and probably until Apple steals couple of tricks from the jailbreak community. Finally, If you are talented but poor developer from a village in India/Nigeria/any other place you can develop a PWA web app on a Raspberry Pi and release it for the world to see without any additional charges and probably profit out of it; It would work fine on Android, KaiOS, perhaps upcoming suite of pure Linux smartphone OS, but if you want it to function on iOS you'll have to invest hundreds if not thousands of dollars in equipment, pay yearly $99 fee, develop new native app with probably a new programming language, Give 30% cut to Apple when you make money out of it.
