Not a youngster, but I would say because it’s a simple choice. Don’t have to think which brand sporting Android is better and definitely don’t have to worry about what custom ROM to install. Troubleshooting between different models can be a pain. People just want something that works out of the box without having to be an expert.
1 choice (mainly) vs (too) many choices.
I used Android since they first came out and not once did I ever needed to worry about a custom ROM.
Let's be real and just say that Apple is doing anticompetitive things and not getting in trouble in the US yet.
I can't think of a single mainstream android phone manufactuer that requires any expertise setting up their phone out of the box (for doing anything an iPhone can do).
You then have the option to install 3rd party software or a custom ROM but that is not required, just a bonus that isn't available to Apple users.
I mean, don't you just log into an account these days and it's all there?
Certainly no more complicated than setting up an iPhone.
