And idiots will pay it
One of the biggest drawbacks of buying iOS devices is you can't leave. I swap everything out on my laptop and phones as needed, but on iOS you're stuck with Apple's app store, Apple's operating system, oftentimes Apple hardware, and there's nothing you can do about it. It simply ends up being so expensive.
It might feel that way, but people switch from one platform the other all the time.
It's not impossible, just inconvenient. People nowadays often seem to conflate the two.
I've swapped between iOS and Android several times. There's literally nothing stopping you from switching other than minor inconveniences.
They do a great job of integrating devices. As for the App Store, us in the EU will soon be allowed to install alternatives. I think the deadline is the end of March.
