They just are too expensive, Apple has the premium segment locked down and I don’t really understand why folks pay that much for android phones.
A lot of this has to do with Google abandoning its product half way though. All the good google products are now over a decade old
When I was poorer I Used android because the nexus 4 was really great price to product ratio. Same with the pixel 3a but the premium android phones don’t offer enough value or ecosystem lock-in to consider.

I like that my Pixel phone came with no crapware other than the Google environment itself -- which I'm already bought into. It's not premium, exactly, but I expect to pay more in order to not have additional, unremoveable vendor stuff bringing the price down.

Nowadays they are expensive phones that you don't really see around here, with the same price as iPhones.
