The ecosystem is really seamless, especially with a MacBook and Apple watch in the mix.
Though I don’t think there is any winning in the smartphone space. There is a duopoly and even if you personally use graphineOS you still are benefitting and helping the Google ecosystem by using Android apps.
Sadly I don’t think we can “vote with our wallets” on smartphones. We need legal legislation that forces both Apple and Google to be consumer friendly.

"You need to let end users be able to repair your devices."
"Okay we will sell a $700 repair 'kit' and each replacement part is $1000 and also they're hardware locked to the original device so you can't reuse older devices for parts. BTW you need our certification."
