Not actually true, there are still some scam apps on the App Store. As long as they have recurring subscriptions, Apple doesn't care too much. It's the free apps that are just as good, they will bury, even if they have users.

As far as music, I agree. I use Apple Music because it's the best streaming service for my needs and they pay artists better than the other big one. But on iOS you also have Marvis Pro and MusicHarbor. I couldn't get that experience on Android. The actual Apple Music app is great on Android, and it has gotten better, but on iOS I still prefer Marvis, which is a frontend to Music.app.
