Yeah, there is that.
I am not claiming android is the One True, I am saying no commercial* OS is. You aren’t the first person to tell me about android phones that can’t be hacked or rooted by any means achievable to average customers, and which do not get updates in timely fashion. I certainly wouldn’t buy one of those, and would never say one of those was better than an iPhone.
And personally I’m not a staunch devotee of any computing hardware or software platform. Well, maybe the antikythera mechanism, that’s pretty great.
