I’ve been using AirDrop to send files between different mames of iOS phone and tablet for ages.

The fact that you are impressed that different products from the same brand are interoperable between them says volumes about Apple and Apple users.

Android didn't have a way to share files between them for the longest time. Initially there was Beam but it never worked. The first semi-reliable way to exchange files between two android phones, without using a third party utility, was Nearby Share dates from 2020.

So yeah, it's a low bar, but one that only Apple bothered to clear from the get go apparently.
