People don't want to have to root a device to work around usability issues. That's why iOS devices are so popular, out of the box they just work (for the most part).

On the other hand, when you do bump into a problem, you generally can root Android devices, while iOS is getting to be pretty rough there.

I've used both extensively. When iOS screws up, which at least it does in my house regularly[1], you're SOL. We're moving to Android devices slowly (up two Moto Gs at the moment).
