Why make stuff up?

All android phones have the home screens, the bottom app drawer, the app switcher, and the top drop down menu for quick settings. The only big differences between Android phones are extra features that a phone may have. For example, Pixel has a bunch of interactions you can do with it that you can't do with other phones.

Because Apple is a religion[1], that's it. Worshipers will say whatever it takes to defend their cult, that's basic human psychology.

All android phones can implement whatever menu structure, app icons, and other flavors on top of the OS - Samsungs implementations being notoriously hated. That some minor bits are consistent across the platform doesn’t fix this. There’s also the fact that android App Store has a far worse shovelware issue.
