It's pretty straight forward. Android provides all the openness people claim to want. Different device makers, different roms, different stores, side loading, etc... But people don't want to use Android or its hardware. People want to use iPhones and iOS and force Apple to add side loading, stores, etc... If Android were superior, no one would care what Apple did. Everyone would simply use Android.

Android's market share inside the United States is 42%. Globally, Android's market share is 70%. I don't think it's accurate to generalize that "people" don't want to use Android. Both platforms seem to have their pros and cons, like any comparable competing products. I think the conversation around side loading and store royalties on iOS has more to do with who owns the hardware, and what the user is permitted to do by the manufacturer.
