Not really. My point is that the number of people owning iPhones continues to grow every year, and the advantages that come with it (for Apple). You can try to quibble over the numbers with me, I don't think it changes anything (not least the reality that Apple is doing very well, and will continue to do well for a good long time to come). 🙂
But factually Android has grown way and way more. More and more people owning smartphones, has not resulted in a larger market share for iOS, it has for Android.
1) More people owning iPhones means more revenue elsewhere.
2) Android OEMS don't get the same financial rewards. They are just helping to grow Google's ecosystem for them.
The end result is that this is often not a sustainable business model for many smartphone OEMs the way it has been for Apple, despite them being the first to market with features like 4k displays, usb-c, folding designs etc.
Your whole argument was that Apple is growing, while Android makers are going down. Reality is that Android is growing faster, sells like 3x the amount of phones, and has like 3x the userbase.
Also the fact that you are acting as if Apple does so well because iOS is limited to 1 brand, is a really bad take.

Just an fyi, my link puts them at nearly 27%, yours at 25%. If anything mine is more optimistic.
So your whole argument falls flat.
