I would say you are wrong. I have used both and the experience was always worse compared to that of competitors, despite their advantage of
a) deep hardware integration
b) deep platform integration (so much, that it feels like effort is required to not use the services).
I guess it depends on what your bar is for “better than terrible”, but when I look at the richest company in tech that also happens to own the entire stack in play, then “better than terrible” is not remotely good enough.
