I think a big reason is that Google has been trying to play Apple's game and copy Apple's success, but they just aren't capable of being Apple. I think Android would be more stable of an option if it had leaned in harder to the things that made it special. It should be built around powerful capabilities, not being the cheaper iPhone alternative. How many people wanted to give "Android" a try and bought a Pixel only to deal with horrible quality control and terrible support? If the phone was half price and allowed you to do crazy things not possible on iOS maybe people would stay. But right now, people just see it as being worse on the core things most people care about: calls, messaging (especially iMessage), social media, camera, and support... and it's about the same price.
