I use Android (work) and iPhone (personal) phones.

My experience with Apps on iPhone is much better. The Apps are better, there is less trash, the Apps get less of my personal data.

This is valuable to me.

Maybe App developers for iPhone are just better human beings than Android developers. I think that’s not the case, and it’s due to the walled garden.

We can argue about why this is the case. But at my company many have both ecosystems in their pockets all day, and no one has a private Android phone for these reason. Sample size 100+ people, with better things to do in life than recompiling code for their phones.

I get that if you want to hack on your phone, iPhone is not the right phone for you. The user experience for hacking on your phone vs using your phone as a non SW developer are allowed to be completely different. One market is significantly larger than the other.
