And why does it bother you? I could say it bothers me that I have to get a phone with 2-3 times the specs of my iPhone to get a comparably performing Android phone, but it doesn't.
Isn't this whole thread about what bothers each other, about each type of phone? I just find it odd that Apple users can settle with technically inferior product, but then say "it's the best."

Hey, if it all works well, then fine. I get that. But why pay through the ass for it? How much longer can Apple get away with that?

I'm a Nexus / Pure Android guy. Yes, I have used an iPhone in the past (iPhone 4). I've never had the experience of using a Samsung. But from what I understand, that extra layer of software that Samsung puts on, is sometimes troublesome.

After my LG flip phone (and several before that), here is my order of phones:
  • BlackBerry Torch
  • BlackBerry Tour
  • HTC Desire HD
  • Nexus 4
  • LG G2 (for only a month) then iPhone 4 for a couple weeks
  • Nexus 5
  • OnePlus One (current phone)

LG also had a layer of software on there, that I hated.
