Like iPhones being massively subsidized by the carriers (at least in the US), at the cost of Android offerings, because "We NEED to be able to offer iPhones!"?

Like the abysmal messing around of the carriers everywhere in Android phones' software, crushing any hope of a good, speedy upgrade system for any of them from the very beginning? A thing nobody would ever dare ask of Apple, because "We NEED to be able to offer iPhones!"?

Nope, sorry! At this point, the reason for the iPhone being big is first and foremost the iPhone being big. ~90% of the profits at ~15% market share? Please!
