I don't see how "android isn't worth it" when you go on to admit iOS is worse... App Store also a big pain and no usable workaround

Google is doing everything they can to slowly remove those work arounds.

I listed my reasons for IOS. It’s ultimately just a much better user experience. You just have to give up on writing your own code to run on it.

The world is rarely black and white. Both can be true.
