Phones and their Os's are just tools. Pick the best tool for the job. Some tools are imperfect. However marketing / branding would like to have us self identify by our purchases. Which leads to polarization. with no room for nuance. "You're either with us, or against us" and absolutism and rejection of facts (and history) "We have always been at war with Eurasia". So then its just a matter of taste, and preference. And we can agree to disagree, can't we.
