Yeah, totally fair. I guess it’s a very subjective opinion, given I grew up in the west, and was introduced to the iPhone era gradually. Like i went through Internet of 90s, desktop apps, old laptops, PCs and etc., and then eventually landing on daily iPhone usage. I can see how it might be a bit different if you went from most using nothing to Android/iPhone society.
That being said, they still use apps like Chrome, Safari, all the other common apps like ours. So they have both UXs available for them, I guess.
