There's a lot of space between "necessary" and "convenient" here. Sure, if you know how to root the phone and program it you can do literally anything. But the bigger and more important point is that Android and Apple (whoever the parties are) have perhaps subconsciously colluded to exclude simple and important functions on our phones -- which are no longer "general purpose computers" -- if ANY of these machines are. E.g. anything convenient that the Apple ecosystem machines can do should be readily available anywhere. Or to better generalize it, how I use my phone and computer ought to be limited only by the machine and my imagination. There should nearly literally be no such thing as a feature I wish for that I can't have, period.
