I have the same theory that I always mention to those who are hesitant to switch devices!
I used to be annoyed about not having my Android devices work like iOS.
Enjoying new tech was a lot better after I started viewing them as different devices instead of pure replacements.
I've purchased several budget/midrange phones as my daily driver, and the long term performance simply wasn't worth it based on the things that I do with my phone.
Now, this is based on cheaper phones with specs from several years so this doesn't hold true anymore.
