How long though? This is the painful economics of technology.
I think a more pointed argument is the relationship the software, hardware, and consumer has in this.
As consumers we really can only vote with our purchasing and much of it is mired in learning by induction what we do/don't want.
The walled garden and immense control of iOS is great until it isn't. The open landscape and diversity of Android is great until it isn't.
The hardware manufacture and telecoms are an added pain in the mobile ecosystem. They want a hook into getting advertising in front of you so some of this hardware is subsidized through bloatware and system level apps that can't be removed. I have an Amazon Prime app that I cannot uninstall (only hide) because it is a system app!?! Hardware manufacturing is a loss at the start of the sale and supporting it is an added cost.
The economics of the system are problematic and going to iOS will only work long enough until it doesn't. Point I'm making is the problem is upstream.
