Some of those are true I don’t think it’s fair to say Android is easier to develop for. I’ve been developing software for both professionally since 2012, and I would argue iOS may be slightly easier, due to the maturity of the tooling and ubiquitous, predictable, and mature system frameworks. I often find myself reaching for some dependency on Android to provide what a one-liner on iOS can do. Just my two cents.
While i understand you are coming from, when i said its easy to develop for android i meanT that i can work in almost any os and the tooling will be available to develop.
So its easier to start for most people.
I.e. easier to develop without requiring specialized hardware
Other than that, what you said is true. java is a VERBOSE language. Kotlin solves this a little
Safari is extremely limited, and web developers are starting to hate it. For example, the latest wepm video type that’s been out for years doesn’t work on Safari. It’s the only viable format for making videos small enough to not impact performance.

Meaning, we dont have extension in firefox. We get it.
But yeah mostly for nerds🤓
This is a great list! Allow me to help expand it:
And since it’s impossible to ignore the fact Android allows for hardware choice, there’s hardware benefits like…
