Because I find the Android UX terrible. I tried it for a year. It's a matter of taste of course.

I would say that GrapheneOS is way better for advanced users than iPhone, but it is definitely vice versa for casual users.
For the most part I use my phone for normy things, like waking up, scheduling calendar appointments, checking in to flights, navigation and photography. I find iOs to work *way* better for most of these. And because with Graphene you can (and should) turn off most of the Google stuff, you lose any potentially good UX that Android does have.
Try e/OS/. Pretty same UX as an iPhone.
my issue with android is they keep changing it to be more and more complicated, and the motorola g51 i bought nearly 3 years ago the way it turns on the screen every time the gyroscope or mic gets some signal
creepy, just downright creepy
but honestly, i don't think apple devices are any nicer except more smooth, and actually they are actually more creepy
i used to use apple computers back in the 90s and 00s and they were already creepy then, idk what to say,
PUT DOWN THE PHONE AND YOU WON"T GET HURT
really really fucking simple
they are literally trying to keep people hooked these days by forcing them to use them for banking
that's their last bargaining chip
people will drop their creepy bullshit tomorrow if they can, if they must, and they will probably must soon
shit like today points that direction
yet another shitcoin hax
yet another incroachment of the government towards people's lives via the means of their phones, which they keep people hooked to via the banks and this constant, incessant stimulation
