It's tricky, because most phones can't be flashed with an alternative aftermarket OS. I know that LineageOS etc. exist, but most phones don't have a stable build and a lot of SoCs will never work reliably with an aftermarket OS.
In that case whoever will exploit your phone first is the one who owns it, not you.
Maybe I have an old laptop that still works and still has Windows XP on it, I fucking own it more then an iOS user owns his device. iOS can be at any moment "owned" by NSO, or by some infected app or malware in the Apple blessed store.
It is a shame that security is a popular fetish now, not all bugs are exploitable and there are mitigation, you don't need to kill my device unless it was 100% exploited and it causes problems.
