Have an android phone, but it's rarely touched (lives on a shelf by the door).
Function of married life and economics for me. I'd be without a cell phone if I were single.... meaning that I only have a phone Because of my wife. As such, I only have the phone with me when not with her (fairly infrequent, she only works 22 hours a week over 3 days and I don't work outside the home), and pretty much don't leave the home without her. So the phone is used 99% of the time in the house, where and while it's plugged into the wall.
As for why android phone? Economics... she needs one for her medical job, when it no longer functions reliably enough for her (34 years), she gets a new one and I take the old one. I'd rather a dumb phone, no GPS, no texting, no camera, just a phone... but those aren't made anymore. "Dumb phones" of today still run android and are still packed with all the same crap as a typical android phone, just minus the massive screen, plus they cost a significant amount (more than the normal phones my wife buys, pixel 4a right now), or at least that was true when I had to relinquish my old dumb phone when the service was discontinued on the provider side.
I'm also old-ish (50's), I'm not afraid of my vehicle breaking down on the road and not being able to help myself. I'm capable of navigating using paper maps. I don't need some perceived safety net, and will argue that life quality is better Without that safety net (more perceived risk, more reward).
