Probably not so much of a problem anymore, but Android phones used to have a lot of crapware from the phone manufacturer and/or carrier and you couldn't expect more than a single OS update. Android phones are a good deal at $100 but I wouldn't want to pay $700 for such messy UI. Google's Nexus and Pixel as well as Motorola and OnePlus catered to the enthusiasts that knew what they want but these have never been big sellers in the West.
They also genuinely make texting with any other phones extremely difficult. Like I can send videos to people without iphones fine but when I send one to an iphone user it comes through in like 180p.
How tf did apple manage to make "not owning an iphone" an ick for so many people lol
iMessage and FaceTime lock-in.

They make android phones use an ugly text color when they text you.
