IMO the worst thing about Android is how much worse it is in migrating from phone to phone
With Apple you can buy a new one, login to your Apple ID to run an iCloud restore and everything will work immediately
While on Android you lose all your notes, all your clock settings, all your app and logins, all your pictures and have to manually transfer everything. Either that or you use some crappy phone clone app that messes up half the time
Why hasn't there been a unified effort by the Chinese OEMs to develop some kind of iCloud alternative? Imagine if you could switch seamlessly between Huawei and Oppo and Xiaomi just like Apple users do. It'd be a game changer and wipe out Samsung. Instead they stick to their own crappy cloud that nobody seriously uses. It makes all of them at risk of having their lunch eaten by Apple.

In the same vein, I'd like the various device hub thingies like
Xiaomi Smart Hub, Huawei Super Device and Honor Magic Ring to see each other. I don't want to be trapped in the ecosystem of one brand. I have collection of devices from all 3 brands and none of them talk to each other.
