Don't forget that Apple actively breaks software build processes quite frequently for their platform and doesn't allow you to fully automate a lot of them because you need accounts to download the relevant tools and can only use them on Apple hardware. That makes supporting it a pain for cross platform projects.

It sucks when you want to port an app to iOS, or an application to MacOS and find out "oh... I need to have a Mac to compile to these platforms.. and there's no way to otherwise test.."

Meanwhile, with android you can just run an emulator.
