You've got part of my point. Over time, Apple is gaining market share. Meaning; previously Android had the greater share. That means that the number of old devices are disproportionately Android. Your experience is a product of the shear number of devices. So beyond the obvious point that one person's experience isn't gospel, the frame of reference isn't sound for forming any opinion on those grounds.

Whilst I largely agree, the fact that there might be more older Android devices in circulation, doesn't mean that proportionately Androids didn't have more problems either.

It just makes it less likely.

Now we're saying the same thing. None of this has any value in what opinion we should form, neither as suggestive of Android being problematic, nor the opposite. Without any good controls the observation is logically useless from a scientific or philosophical perspective.
