I think it's being down voted because of the way it is phrased, it comes across as "You obviously should switch to iPhone so why don't you?"

I don't want to switch because I find iPhones and the UI to be bland and boring, the ecosystem is too locked down and there's little to no customisation. Plus there is a lot of snobbery around apple products and that doesn't sit well with me.

"You obviously should switch to iPhone so why don't you?"

Ahh now I see.

Also this is the second similar post I've seen recently. I think heblast one was, "iPhone users, why do you love your iPhone more than Android?" Or something. Made me suspicious of it being an ad. At the very least, I didn't think a second thread was needed.
