The two classes of people who broadly buy Android phones are techies (“I want to root my phone”) / politicos (“software freedom! walled gardens! it’s GNU/Linux actually”) and committed cheapskates (“close enough to an iPhone for no bucks!”). There’s nothing wrong with that. But the actual working poor don’t have time for it, so they buy iPhones and just keep them as long as possible.

Android has 40% of the US market - you have no clue what you're talking about.
