I'd take a more diverse UI experience on Android any day over a more polished yet heavily opinionated experience at iOS.

That being said, I feel like the main complaint about Android apps design is the fact that a lot of apps are just horrible half-assed implementations of old Material UI slapped together on a drag and drop editor like the Android Studio widget system. Offering an incentive for people to build anything and make money off data collection and ads without the corporate tyranny of Apple results in just that. So apps that are on FOSS repositories such as F-Droid are usually much cleaner to use, despite their UI/UX being just as diverse.
