This is only fair if the Apple user is worried about switching away from iOS, not other devices. For example, an iPhone user can get the exact same experience from the Galaxy Buds as I have with my S10+, but they get the added bonus of having enhanced operability with things like AirPods, if that's what they want instead. I think the only limitation with the Buds is the ability to stream to 2 sets of Buds at once, but that's such a rare use-case and doesn't really affect the experience in the same way as the quick switching between Apple device that comes with AirPods. I wish I could have the Apple experience, but my hate for iOS is too strong. Otherwise, I love a lot of what they develop.
