To your side note: did you know you can use the iOS keyboards space bar as touch pad control for the text cursor? Just press and hold. That makes positioning the cursor very easy.

FWIW the default soft keyboard on Android functions the same way. Remembering to use it is the big trick!

This is true, but the UX is much nicer on iOS.

I disagree, I find the total keyboard experience much better on Android.
To each their own, obviously. But... yeah, IMO it's pretty bad on Apple.
I do, but it’s janky enough that I don’t actually like it very much, and it hasn’t achieved muscle memory status. It seemed to work better when it was Force Touch based (before they removed Force Touch)… the spacebar technique just doesn’t seem to activate reliably for me.
