The android phones are basically as bad. They have the app stores, it's difficult to actually control what runs on them, etc.

People do care about these issues, but the market has been intentionally shaped to be as it is, because it's just a couple of big players (so what exists on the market isn't governed by consumer preference.

You can choose to buy an unlockable Android phone. You don't have that option with Apple.

And this isn't a counterpoint, it's agreement: yeah, a lot of Android is equally bad. Android isn't better in itself. But some Android vendors are.
