> Consistency of user experience.

like how the back gesture works on iphones across generation and apps?

> Reliable security updates for old devices that still function

7 years of update isn't long enough?

> Heavy integration with the Google spyware ecosystem

last I checked iOS is closed source. Run your own OS or just don't use google apps. I bet most people are using gmail and google maps on their iphones too.

> Poor CPU performance and battery life.

compared to which android phone? and is this before or after apple throttles your iphone?

> Low-quality peripherals such as cameras

flag ship androids consistently have better camera hardware compared to iphones, iphone just makes it up with better camera software. You could go the sony route if you don't live in the U.S. to get a better overall camera focused phone.

> Manufacturer defects in Google-branded device

good thing you have options in android ecosystem.
