Perhaps the ecosystem has changed now, but when I made the switch in 2017, having an Android phone felt like a hobby project. I was regularly dealing with flagship phones stuttering and lagging, apps crashing, media formats not displaying properly, etc.
Unfortunately, it isn't really practical to have free for all alongside secure by default. Apple is doing the latter, the various non-Google Androids focus on the former.
