I'm not really a "anti-apple". But i'm not truly in support with the apple products. I recently went on to buy a wall charger and a cable for like iPhone 6 and literally it costed me 3x times more than a android charger, I was actually shocked literally damn what even.
"you have 0 control about the software INSIDE your hardware". I totally agree with your point, With android i feel i have more control over my things my applications. Even if we say there are viruses on playstore but literally you could grab a good APK from web and install it. Backing up stuff from iPhone is no more then a mess actually. I would honestly say in 2015-2016 time period yes there were things i would say latest iPhones had few more things better than some of that latest time android phones.
But seeing now things and new features like 120Hz Display, RAM and better camera, UI. Literally now budget phones have full body ratio screens.

You're right about the missing features.I really don't see a point in buying iPhone except to keep ur "status" high and ofcourse receive free bragging rights. The new Android phones are just as good if not better and honestly the slight edge that Apple has in Camera technology isn't exactly that strong. Xiaomi just released Poco X3 which imo gives better specs than iPhone 12 at like a fraction of the cost. (Poco gives 120 Hz screen, water cooling, Snapdragon 730G, almost bezel less screen, 30W Charger and more..)
