Not surprising, this site is made for the Woz's of the world (and that's fine!).
My read was that this addressed your point.
I'm pretty sure Woz perfectly understands why iPhone has a larger market share.
I use a Pixel too, but I can see that an iPhone is more appealing to 80%+ of world's population.
I said "iPhone is more appealing to 80%+ of world's population". I didn't say everyone who wants it can afford it.
It's pure speculation, of course, but given its current market share (27% of all devices sold) and its price point, I don't think it's too far fetched to say that its market share would be much higher if price wasn't an issue for people. This is somewhat hinted by the fact that it has a 78% market share in the $1,000+ segment [1], and most iPhone models are over $1K.
Also it still ships more phones than any other single vendor (unless you lump all Android phones into one bucket). In terms of revenue, it's by far the leader with 43% [2].
