Google has much better software and they charge for it in data/ads instead of money, but there's a much better reason to choose android over IOS: It's open-source, so people have created free software variants of it that retain compatibility with existing apps while respecting your privacy and freedom.
In case you care about that, give grapheneOS or calyxOS a shot on your pixel.
If you install a custom build, doesn't that break OS verification (or whatever the name of it was)? Meaning things like Google wallet, but more importantly some banking apps, will fail to work?
