I have F-Droid installed on all my Android phones. Admittedly it's something you must go out of your way to do, but you can put third party app stores on Android phones very easily, or just sideload apps individually if they have an official APK link (many do).
iPhones on the other hand, yeah very different story.
With alternative app stores, you have to approve every single app update, ehich is way inferior to play store.
Except if the app has an updater built-in to itself, in which case there is no prompt as far as I remember.
I don't see how it's "way inferior" to manually hit an "update" button, it's a minor inconvenience at best.
