This doesn't match my notion of the Android and Apple ecosystems.

Android is the _cheap_ option. You can get Android burners now on budget telcos like Cricket and MetroPCS. Geeks like it too, but that's not the massive perception of the OS. It's becoming just the default phone.
I'll give you fast/smooth, but from now on, I can't see my next phone being anything other than a Nexus.
If your digital life is in Google apps, a Nexus phone is a very sensible choice.
I'm not willing to put up with carrier crapware on non-Nexus phones though. That would be too big of a compromise for me.
That is not to say that Android has no virtues of its own. I prefer Android for more than just brand identification.
