This is a false analogy.

All countries have crime, and the switching cost is immense. However some countries are much worse than others which makes it worth it.

Phones are at parity in terms of features, and the switching cost is trivial.

Moving even between counties is not comparable to just spending a few hundred dollars on a phone.
