1) iPhone 13 is 09/2021; Galaxy S20 FE is 09/2020. One year older device.
2) System updates do not mean the same on Android and iOS. On Android, all the apps are going to be updated still. Browser, mail, chat, maps are not hostages to system update. Conversely, security-only updates on Android are perfectly fine. Most users would not see difference between major releases anyway.
You're instead referring to Google Play Services alternatives, which get updated but also don't represent the headline features that get announced with new Android releases.
> Most users would not see difference between major releases anyway
Absurd take when Google spends literal millions marketing the new features native to Android releases (not app releases, Android releases)
And in less than a year the binary blobs running half the phone in your pocket will no longer get updated, so it elevates from being a feature issue to being a security issue.
