No need to belabor the point given the many examples beyond this one. If you want security, you're not going with Android. If you want configurability, you're not going with iOS. Android: slurping phone numbers, texting behind the scenes on your behalf, etc... iOS: no access to apps that Apple doesn't approve, no replacement of built-in apps with third-party apps, etc... These systems were not built exactly with your benefit in mind. Android was built to prevent Apple domination of mobile and thus continue selling ads by providing services. Apple has several services that would be much more useful cross platform but are not: Facetime, iMessage, etc... and that reinforce platform lock-in.
