> It's useful for copy/pasting (even when the text is baked into an image) and for translating foreign text

I do this by taking a screenshot. The OCR stuff works very well on Apple platforms, it even works on videos.

Over the years, there always was something that "Android would do but iOS can't", like supporting Flash Player or Copy/Paste or downloading things on the browser. These were never an issue because unless you were trying to use the phone as a PC. As the web transformed and the tech got advanced enough to make phone primary computer for many people, these issues were fixed.

These days Android/iOS have a parity, I'm glad that Android exist and there are people doing interesting things with it.

That's a great feature for identifying the source of an image, too. Particularly, if someone on Twitter is subtweeting someone with a screenshot, you can get to the original tweet in three taps. I also used it the other day to select and copy all the text from a PDF where text selection had been disabled. Voice recognition and dictation also seems to be years ahead of what you get on iOS, at least with my voice and English.
