I don't watch either shows, but... and I can't tell you why, but reading the summary articles of "Apple showed X and Y" is still more interesting to me than ANYTHING Google has unveiled in the last 10 years. I'm a very disappointed Android user of roughly 12-13 years (my main point is that the damn phones never get updates after 1-3 years) and they never bring out anything exciting. I mean, I don't find the stuff that Apple unveils exciting (except the M1, that was something new) but I can hardly imagine anything less interesting than Google products.
Sure, many WWDC updates are like "number behind 'iPhone' goes up" but at least it's something of a cycle and you can't really escape it if your friends are talking about it. There seems to be at least some sort of innovation. Maybe it's also a little "hey this sounds kinda nice, wouldn't it be cool..." (typical grass is greener on the other side).
But in retrospect I couldn't actually tell you any meaningful feature in Android that I found really good in a new version. It has always somehow worked for the basic things I do. Also one main point is that they have a non-convoluted lineup. Even I, as someone who should have zero clue, could summarize the current things in two sentences. Google? I have no idea. I/O feels as if this was WWDC + AWS Summit + half of E3.
