If andorid is great, then folks will pick android. That's fine and competition.
Things are a lot cheaper on android to, so they win on price.
The one android phone I ever purchased
1) Shipped with bloatware in the base install (!!!)
2) Shipped with an older android version.
3) The updates never came
4) The messaging story was CRAP (unsecured SMS / spam SMS)
Meanwhile I'm getting 4-5 years of updates on every iphone I have ever purchased. I've never gotten spam imessages I don't think. etc.
Apple choses these features because they think it will let them charge more for their stuff - which I think it does. Making a product people want by reducing scam behavior shouldn't be illegal, and people wanting your product and being willing to pay extra for it doesn't make you a monopoly. Def makes apple rich though!
