It's funny to me that people can hold the belief that the iOS UI design tools are somehow the worst while iOS has consistently had the best mobile UI in terms of aesthetics (subjective), usability and performance (objective).

If the tools were so bad, why do they always seem to achieve a superior result?

A lot of stuff comes "for free" with iOS, and I find that iOS developers tend to care more about usability and design than developers for other platforms since it's heavily incentivized by Apple and iOS users.

Yes, and one of those things that comes for free is a very good UI layout system and tooling.
