Why can't I select the correct location and just backspace one or two characters instead? Android handles it perfectly fine, and has for more than a decade.

Copy-paste menu is very finicky. Sometimes it appears, sometimes it doesn't, the selection marks seem to miss the mark occasionally as well.

I've had all the problems you mention on android over a 4 year period of a Pixel phone into a samsung phone, and none of them in the last 6 months going back to iOS

Press and hold and it will drop the cursor where you want.

4 taps - beginning of word, quote, end of word quote.

double tap on word, start typing the correct one. Double tap the word, and use the "replace" dropdown. Or, tap and use spacebar as a cursor to selectively edit a single word. This is certainly no worse than a mouse, but it is sub par to a physical keyboard.
