With all my due respect, iOS is even worse. They don't provide access to the file system of their phones/tablets, still refuse to open iMessage to rival OSes, they don't even release their apps for other operating systems.

You can't for example backup WhatsApp on Android and restore your backup on iOS.

They don't support Bluetooth file transfer and they are/were requiring to develop their apps on macOS. Not to forget all those lawsuits they filed against Samsung and other Android manufacturers at the beginning of the smartphone revolution.
