The quality of indie apps on iOS has always been a huge draw for me.

Unfortunately that’s mostly been replaced by the swamp of garbage from IAP and ad driven filth that only cares about money.

But the gems are still there.

No doubt iOS has great exclusive apps, however, Android has some gems as well. Newpipe, Buzzkill, the ability to have any browser engine you want, 3rd party app stores, 3rd party launchers, I'm sure I'm forgetting some other perks. Both platforms have their strengths.
