I don't think you did. You just say how apple products satisfied your needs. Your assumption is that other non-apple eco-systems cannot give the same level of satisfaction that you got with apple. That is not true at all.
I think it is more of apple fans who are obsessed with benchmarks and fraction seconds performance gain over S8. Do a search in this forum and that's the central theme when comparing to s8.
More cores is more advantageous for android due to concurrent multi-tasking which iOS doesnt do. And more cores is more power efficient since higher proportion of the cores are put to sleep when not need. Iphone doesn't really have a more efficient design. You may be confusing smoothness with efficiency. Iphone has UI smoothness at the EXPENSE of efficiency. To achieve smoothness, iOS purposely slowed down the UI with tricks like limited scrolling or extended animation. These impede the time needed to do a task thus reduce efficiency. See the video below to look at how slow is scrolling in iOS compared to android. You need 5 times more swipe to move the same amount.
Agreed. The fps support is there in android. Just that some app developers are slow to react. With the the standardized fps in Android nowadays many apps are starting to make use of fps to do authentication. Galaxy has support fps authentication for most Samsung apps and browsers.
In addition S8 has "Secure Folder" which is like a second login environment where you can put all you saved pre-login apps. Here you can do all your i-banking or monetary transactions without worry since everything is secured by Knox.
But the S8 has better camera esp in low light. Even macworld agreed.

But the underlying android is from Google. The manufacturers just customized it. The vanilla android still gives more capabilities than iOS
Because others don't have Apple advantage. i.e its marketing and proprietary hardware/software lock-in or telcos tied. Look in the forum threads and the slave lock included iMessage/Apple TV/airdrop/airpods/icloud. Iphone can have cut throat price and you have no choice except to smilingly pay for it
Apple designs its processor that's about it. Rest like screen etc come from others.
Samsung is the one that designs and manufactures every component in the phone.
