Android is more customizable for sure but the default behavior does matter and the default state of android devices almost invariably feels advesarial and cheap. Bloat wear, ugly launchers, horrid camera apps, all sorts of dark pattern. Used to be that nexus devices offered a no BS android experience but having just switched to a pixel I feel like these days are gone too

The most expensive phones you can buy right now are all android, by far. I highly doubt they have a low build quality and a botched slow OS.
