I love my iPhone after switching a couple years back, but the only reason I do is because I can jailbreak it.

In first place I would rank a jailbroken iPhone, Android in second, normal iPhone in third.

Some reasons: no ads in most places, piracy, ability to change UI to my liking. Example: stock ios alarm app takes 3 clicks to change the alarm time, with a tweak it just takes one. There's a large and thriving community. The only limitation is that you need to be on one of the compatible ios and model versions, so I'm stuck on ios 14.3 for now.

Yes that's correct, the jailbreak itself uses these vulnerabilities.
