I wasn’t talking about stock Android. I was thinking more that if I switch from iOS then I’m not going to Android (Google) so I’d have to use GrapheneOS where those kind of apps are not really simple to get running if you can at all.
That's not really an Android problem, that's rooting (or on iphones - jailbreaking) problem. Stock android, just like your stock iPhone, should not have such problems, so it's very disingenuous for you to not mention anything about you rooting/hacking/modifying your device and just saying "android bad, iPhone good", not very engineer-like of you. Be more objective next time and skip the narrative-bending
After reading it back I’ll cede that it does read that way.
My intention, admittedly not well executed, was to say that it’s either iOS or Android and they both have pros and cons. Other that those choices it’s to use GrapheneOS where you find it harder to install things.
The reason I think was because this place is very pro GrapheneOS or similar ones so figured that would be a given. Otherwise Apple or Google it’s like the choice between being shot in the head or having you neck snapped, neither is ideal but you have to choose one.
