He's saying that it's not just down to taste. iOS remains fundamentally less capable for many power users who buy high-end phones, and your article didn't touch on that point. Everything from using a decent browser or maps application to using SIP, Google Voice, or a calling card is painfully broken on iOS. Expecting users who rely on those features (a lot for default apps and some of the features the other posters mentioned like waterproofing, admittedly fewer for my other example) to switch to iOS before it has those features would be like expecting music production power users to switch to Android before low latency audio processing is fully baked. Neither of those are matters of taste.
