History: I used/preferred Android until the iPhone 4S. I still have Android phones/tablets laying around for software testing.

I'm a developer and as much of a PITA the App Store is to deal with, their APIs are really productive to work with, especially in the SwiftUI world.
I'm a Mac user (have been since 1990) and the platform integration is really good.

One fun story: I had to implement the Google Pay equivalent of Apple Pay QR code passes and holy crap was that a shit-show. One Android phone I had had literally two different things called Google Pay, one as an app and one hidden in the Settings menu, with different feature sets and different passes. What the hell???
