Probably because it's not 2010 and both platforms are matured to the point of being able to do almost the exact same things for the majority of users, so it's just down to small personal preferences.
This is so true now. I used to go back and forth between iPhone and Pixel phones, and then a few years ago decided it's just nicer with an iPhone. I know I'll get regular updates and I'll get OS updates way longer than any Android phone will. The OSes are pretty much the same now, little tweaks here and there between the two and they are nearly identical to how they work. And iPhone just has more QOL features over Android.
Yeah pretty much the same except iOS is absolute trash with the shittiest ux imaginable. Yeah, I have to use them for work. Safari is a fucking trainwreck as one example
The UX is pretty comparable to the Android one, I think. I don't use Safari, so I don't know too much about it. I use Firefox instead.
And no I think the ux is not intuitive on iOS. Some of the simplest common options are either hidden or missing altogether
Firefox on iOS is actually just a reskinned safari, because apple will not allow an actual different browser on their platform. The EU probably is going to change that though.
