> the real question is whether people find iOS compelling enough to pay a premium for using it and put up with the ecosystem lock-in

It’s only paying a premium at the lowest end of the market - if you’re buying a Pixel, you’re paying as much or even more than someone buying an equivalent iPhone. The ecosystem switching cost is real but given how most Android users I know complain about app developers favoring iOS, I’m not sure how substantial that is.
