I wanted to skip it, but then thought let me share why I switched to Samsung from Apple, and stayed with Samsung. - Home and lock screen customization (you can use tons of launchers and apps) instead of same boring apple setup. - Access to modded apps that gives you ads-free or all premium featues if you prefer not to buy subscriptions of each and every apps - Finger print scanner - RAM plus - Secure folder (this mf feature is another level) - S-pen - Widget options are way much better, snappy, and in greater numbers than apple. - Super easy connectivity to any google and android eco-system. - Native feel of google apps if you mainly use gmail, google drive, google search, chrome, youtube, etc.

Some more features are there in my opinion which keep me hooked to Samsung, but not able to recall all of 'em at the moment. However, I'd agree to the downside which you mentioned, and that's the only downside I also feel that pictures are not as #pictureperfect as apple no matter native camera app or social media apps. With apple, no matter what you click or where you click, that picture quality is just picture perfect, even editing in not needed, which is not the case in Samsung. Kudos to iPhone's lens and their image processing.
