Seems to work fine on Linux unless you stick to kernels that are multiple decades old.

Whether it's technical or social the situation on iOS is clearly inferior.

You're being disingenuous. There is more to an operating system than a kernel; new features in Linux software frequently require supporting software or libraries to be updated.

Even the user space updates (outside gnome which most people avoid) don't make breaking changes at nearly the rate you see in iOS.
