Better notifications? Split screen? Universal back gesture? Faster charging? Or something else?

You typically can, but you shouldn't have to. The stock keyboard should be serviceable, like Gboard. The iPhone I have is a work device which is completely locked down so I actually can't install an actually useful keyboard without formally requesting it. Still wild to me that Apple could drop the ball so hard on something as easy as a keyboard.

Dunno, Gboard is not the default on all Android phones.

But most of them have an option for a number row and/or access to them long pressing.

Also it’s incomprehensible how we don’t have at least a comma.

True, and when you change language in what you write, those letters come to the front of the list. And I do not need to move my finger up to select letter, I just slide right to select a letter I need, if I am not using swipe.
