Yes, it is _a lot_ easier to set up mitmproxy on iOS vs Android. But once you encounter an app with certificate pinning, being on a more open platform that lets you install your own apps can help get around that.

that said, mitming stuff even on Android can be a pain, so I use a rooted Android emulator with Frida. Even that can be a hassle sometimes.
