To be honest, right now there aren't many limitations on the Apple Store. It's also a lot easier to put fake apps on the Play Store than on Apple's app store.
That is true. The fake wallets were on Playstore before but since like 3 years now, the fake app developers were tired and they started using App store. The recent ones reported were on App stores and probably more might come. But another recent one were extensions.I write all of that admiting that I am an Apple user, and have lots of products from them (iPhone, Apple Watch, Airpods, Macbook). Their hardware is just best. 
I guess you are from United States. I noticed people from United States just like one kind of preference for Apple products. Although, people that are using 2 or 3 Apple products will want to continue using their products.Vivo X200 and the lastest Xiaomi competed with iPhone camera. Many people online even rated them better than Apple. I like Samsung because it is available in my country cheaper. Do not mind my off-topic post.
Apple has not produced any foldable phone and their AI is lagging behind. Sorry, off-topic again.
But most importantly, I can not use a device that will not allow me to download appusing browser.
