It's not easy to live in the modern world without an iPhone or an Android. I know, because I chose not to have either one.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to choose "neither". I expect some day I'll be forced to do so.
By your description, that will be a failure of capitalism.
When do you think it will happen?
When I can't charge my car because all the charging stations require an app that only works on Android and iOS?
When I can't easily get food because the restaurants switch to app-only sales, or smart phone payment?
When it's difficult to buy a good quality local map because everyone uses in-phone GPS?
When I need two-factor auth for a site that only supports a cell phone as the second auth?
The list gets longer and longer.
