I have to agree. I don't like it either but Android's flexibility still is miles ahead of iOS so it is more of a case of choosing the worse between two bad choices. E.g. I heavily use Syncthing to keep data/media across various devices in sync (mostly Linux and Android); recently we purchased an iPhone so I thought of doing the same setup for managing photos/videos etc and basically, other than some hacky options, there is no clean and seamless solution. Google's walls are rising but I can still pretty easily hop over them compared to Apple's fortress.
