There are some cool things on iPhone I wish I had access to on Android (mainly related to face tracking for 3d animation) but my issue is and always has been how restrictive and shitty the user experience is for any type of power user. I frequently need to install development tools of every stripe and on anything Apple that's essentially just a dead end. OSX has some stuff but even there, if you want to develop FOR it, you have to shell out money for their IDE, when on every other OS the best IDEs are 100% free.

And then now in 2023 it's even worse because Apple censors shit in other people's programs or refuses to allow them on the app store, so to get uncensored versions of shit you simply can't even use an Apple device (e.g., Telegram), or you're limited to using a browser version, which they could censor at any time.

I also do some game hacking for fun sometimes (usually for modding purposes in co-op multiplayer games, rather than actually cheating) and in the modern landscape that usually means running hacked OS level drivers and coding inside of them, which as far as I know doesn't even exist on MacOS. Same with disassembling binaries, I have no idea how Apple's assembly works, and it took me a long time to learn what little I know of x86 assembly.
