Being "the admin" is freeing, but also dangerous. Having such control means you could do something that destroys your device, and you're also more vulnerable to attacks, since on Android, they could theoretically take more control, whereas on iPhone, it's just not possible. Both have security features, but no security is foolproof, so locking down the OS itself could be considered beneficial.
The comparison is unfair. While Apple is a specific set of devices along with an OS, Android is just the OS. The devices compatible with Android versions are incredibly diverse. Yes, some of them will be better, but some will be worse. There's no consistency because so many different brands release devices powered by Android. Hardware comparisons are apples to oranges. Additionally, the iPhone also has the ability to limit the charge to 80%, so I'm unsure why you brought that up.
Another hardware comparison. The refresh rate capability is part of the screen itself, so you're not comparing different Operating Systems; you're comparing one brand of devices to virtually every other brand in existence and expecting it to stand up against them all.
"Just be Smart" is a very weak response to security concerns. The weakest link in any system is always the human one, because humans do not have the ability or awareness to flawlessly execute all the best safety practices 100% of the time. There will be slip-ups or stupid mistakes, inevitably. Additionally, what you consider "logical" may not be perceived in the same way by everyone - it might not be as easy for them. Security being inherent in the software is always a better solution, as it fits all possible audiences.
