I think my #1 reason to stay Apple for the foreseeable years is that they put Privacy up there as a value. It makes all it's money from hardware and not my data. Once you understand how Google makes it's money it doesn't make you want to use it's products. Homekit may not be as good as Alexa/Google assistant for home automation but it makes an effort to keep all your data local and not in a cloud. A small minority of us really value that. I understand for regular people though it's really just a status symbol. I spent X on a phone cause I'm doing well in life.

For me its update length. In 2019 I did not have a single Apple product but then I needed a tablet and found that the android side was offering almost no compelling options so I picked up an iPad Air 2 (2014). I was absolutely shocked by the fact it was still getting updates (its getting ipados 15 now) which convinced me to try out the other products so I now own the iphone, watch, ipad pro and airpods. The air 2 went to my mum who still uses it today and it works well.
