Everyone has their preferences, I would love to hear why you guys prefer using Android!

I was an iOS user for nearly a decade but I increasingly grew tired of the walled garden and lack of customization (i.e. not being possible for me to tailor the OS closer to my needs), especially the lack of third-party stores for FOSS apps. Not to mention the fact that the App Store model actively discourages developers of these apps, so it is an ideological question at the end of the day.
Apple's app store monopoly is a huge issue, I recently was suggested an app for iOS called, "Carrot Weather" as it was highly acclaimed for being optimized and brandishing a clean UI, however, when I opened the app, I was asked to pay a yearly subscription of $50. For a weather app.
Noped out of there immediately. Everyone and their mum seems to have a subscription service now.
I used to like customizing the UI a lot, and jailbroke my first iPhone (a 4S).
Nowadays, iOS and Android have converged somewhat. But the big sticking point that makes me stick with Android is that sideloading apps on iOS is still a major, major hassle.
