You‘re right. That‘s why we need a strong EU and multilateral partnerships to counter US and Chinese ambitions.

Correct. But hardware is not the problem here, I‘d say.
It‘s a duopoly and I doubt the US will tackle this problem. At least the EU has started doing something about it.
I can say that it wasn‘t any of the Android edgelords or Linux neckbeards.
This is nothing to brag about, when Android needs this to run smoothly, compared to the same performance of a 6 GB RAM iPhone.
Edit: Just look at benchmarks and every day use cases. How exactly has any Android smartphone ever achieved any significant speed gains by using huge amounts of RAM compared to the then-current iPhone model? I agree with the Apple criticism when it comes to computers. When it comes to efficiency of smartphones, Android just seems to have tons of overhead and has always needed significantly more RAM than iPhones while not being faster at all. Maybe we can put the „look at how edgy I am for not using Apple devices“ aside for a moment.
Well, how could anyone think that circumventing encryption with a shady middle-man tool wouldn‘t be a privacy nightmare?
I remember trying Windows XP tablets at CeBIT 2004. Apple released their first Tablet in 2010. There‘s releasing something that does a job and there‘s releasing something that does the job. What I‘ve seen from Android foldables was underwhelming, Apple could do something differently, which still fits into the category but has improved aspects not only Apple considers necessary to release such a device.
