These options just serve different needs. It's not that one way is right and the other is wrong, it depends on one own's preferences. I'm in the Android and Linux camp in part for the reason your friend says (but there's more), however I believe that everyone should just use what they like best. I would still suggest someone that never used a Linux distro to give it a try, but I don't go further than this.
